Flxible Clipper

A 1951 Flxible Clipper, chrome ribs polished, at a vintage trailer rally in Pismo Beach, California, in 2016. Flxible introduced its streamlined Clipper in Loudonville, Ohio in 1937, and a restyled postwar version stayed in production for about two decades, so the rounded nose, ribbed flanks and winged badge became the shape of American road travel in the 1940s and 1950s. The look traveled: Ansair of Melbourne built 131 Clippers under license for Australian roads.
