| After the success of the Fleetline double decker, Daimler followed on with a few single deck models, which did not find many takers. Surprisingly it took a single deck version of the Fleetline to set the customers off. This is one again with Darlington and Roe bodywork |
 |
| This is where the modern Daimler single decker started - The Freeline. A real heavy weight of the first generation underfloors, it did not find much success in the UK, but foreigners knew a good thing when they saw it. This model at the coach show in the early fifties, with a Willowbrook coach body for Burwell & District, looking evey bit as heavy as the chassis. Recently rescued for preservation. |

| More what the public were used to in the 50's, a conventional CVD6 single decker with Dundee Corporation |
 |
| Premier Travel's CVD6 with unusual Wilkes&Meade bodywork. Quite the progressive for 1953. This shot taken in London in 1959 by G. Rixon |
 |
| How about this! What do you do with a new idea? You do it in the old way. A shortened Fleetline with no forward entrance. The idea of Walsall's GM and put together by a reluctant Northern Counties in 1962. |
