Flyer New Look bus

The Flyer New Look bus, originally released as the Western Flyer D700 in 1967 for the Canadian transit market, was built in three distinct generations until 1987, when the New Flyer D900 was discontinued. The D700 was the first transit bus released by Western Flyer, which had only manufactured suburban over-the-road coaches until then; the D700 closely resembled the contemporaneous popular GM New Look bus, including the multi-pane "fishbowl" style windshield. The D700 was subsequently licensed to AM General in 1970 for sales to American transit operators; AM General modified the exterior design and sold it as the AM General Metropolitan starting in 1974. Flyer later adopted the exterior changes made by AM General and sold the bus as the D800; the D900 was the second and final facelift of the design, and is distinguished by the simpler windshield. Versions of each generation, including the AM General variant, were also available in electric trolleybus form.
