Powering Through Time
Under the hood, a powerful International 466 DTE engine with a mere 2,500 original miles purrs. It's a modern marvel with a diesel turbo and electronic controls, all accessible with a computer and factory plug-in. Experience the thrill of a fly-by-wire accelerator and the smooth handling of a 5-speed Allison automatic transmission. Additional fuel filtration ensures peak performance, and everything is meticulously detailed for optimal operation.
Modern Conveniences Meet Vintage Charm
Step inside and be transported to a luxurious oasis. Gleaming bull-nosed solid oak cabinets offer ample storage, while indirect valance lighting creates a warm ambiance. Prepare meals in the fully-equipped kitchen featuring a new refrigerator/freezer, stove, and oven. Relax in comfort with central heating and air conditioning (both new!), or unwind with a movie on one of the three TVs (living room, bedroom, and even an outside entertainment center!).
The sleeping quarters are just as impressive. A queen-size bed and a cleverly designed folding couch/bed ensure restful nights for four. Unwind in the tiled shower and bathroom, complete with a unique desk roll-type cabinet and hidden stereo electronics.
Extra Touches of Whimsy
This isn't just a functional RV; it's a conversation starter. A Marilyn Monroe fluorescent radio adds a touch of retro flair, while Venetian blinds and beveled mirrors complete the elegant look. Unique features like a backward-in-time clock and lighted mirror dice add a playful touch.
Built for the Long Haul
The exterior is just as impressive as the interior. A stunning seafoam green, vanilla milkshake, and coral color scheme is accented by a purple beauty line. Custom skirts with scoops, 1947 re-chromed bumpers, and dual spotlights exude vintage charm.
But beauty isn't everything. This Flxible Clipper prioritizes functionality as well. A remote luggage door, outside entertainment center, and vinyl windshield cover make life on the road a breeze. For added safety, there are even antique fire extinguishers on board.
The "Creamsicle" Legacy
Affectionately nicknamed "Creamsicle," this Flxible Clipper has been meticulously cared for by HB Industries in El Cajon, CA for the past 25 years. Bob Rowsell, the major contributor, ensured not only stunning aesthetics but also future serviceability. Everything is designed for easy maintenance, with circuit and wiring access readily available for any International dealership. The current owner has enjoyed 25,000 trouble-free miles of West Coast travel and car shows, and has meticulously documented the bus's remarkable history with receipts and research.
