Product Description
An innovator in the bus business, Fageol was the first company to build a bus from the ground up, and it was called the Safety Coach. Later in 1927 the Fageol brothers sold out and began Twin Coach. They then built the Model 40 Twin Coach - a twin engine city bus that began the city bus business. This bus operated for up to 20 years in many cities - a rarity at the time. In 1960 Twin Coach was bought by Flxible. Period photos, with detailed captions, tell the story of these buses. This is a book bus enthusiasts won't want to miss.

Gone but not forgotten. February 8, 2004

I buy all the books in this series covering historic American buses. Sadly all the manufacturing companies are now gone. Fageols and, more so, Twins were used in both San Francisco and Oakland and surrounds. Included were some that were to replace the cable cars in San Francisco. One is preserved as are some of the smaller, older models used across the bay. One old Fagoel is further down the peninsula. Longest lasting were the trolleybuses in San Francisco. Buy this book to get the whole story and the other books, too. You'll like them as much as I do.
