The long-defunct "RED RIVER MOTOR COACH LINES" (Manitoba), was sold to "GREY GOOSE" in 1962 (a couple of vintage photos are included here)........

"Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery" (Canada-style)..... Wink

In the 1950's, "MURRAY HILL" operated a fleet of sightseeing-window PREVOSTS, which, except for the front ends, were virtually identical to the FLXIBLE "Airporter", even down to the rear air scoop on the roof.

In the early 1950's, PREVOST also offered an intercity coach, the "VOYAGEUR", which, except for the lack of a rear air scoop, was almost a twin to FLXIBLE's "Clipper"

After WW2, PREVOST also manufactured a number of city and suburban coaches, which were clearly inspired by ACF-BRILL/CCF-BRILL.

Even the windows were clearly BRILL-style.......

Here are a few photos of a rare 1950 PREVOST intercity coach.

Note that the rear is quite reminiscent to those on FLXIBLE highway coaches (also YELLOW/GM PD/PG-types).........
