Bus enthusiasts who are fans of the AMC 1960's television drama 'Mad Men' were treated to an extra bonus on Sunday night - besides the sight of the lovely Megan Draper exiting a sleek Austin-Healey convertible, that is! The scene takes place in January 1969 at the Los Angeles International Airport, and one of the props used by the crew to establish the vintage scene was a shiny red and cream Flxible Visicoach. I haven't found a good screenshot showing the entire bus, but here is one with the coach visible in the background.

I'll keep an eye out for any videos.

Enjoy!

RailBus63,

Nice photo - good find.

Here's two more frames from the same 'Mad Men' series showing what appears to be an early postwar ACF 'IC-41' series parlor car.

Best regards,

That's a nice coach...but I really want that blue Rambler American convertible!

I had a 1963 Riviera, like the one behind the 'Healey......
wish I still had it, (sigh).....
