TIM, that is a good point. From what I have observed on the taxis that I have I believe that Packard was trying to use up any existing inventory that was on hand. The 46/47 taxis used 15 inch wheels and the 48 lwb taxi also used the 15 inch wheel. I also have a 49 taxi from the Chicago area and it uses 16 inch wheels. It would make more since to me to have used the larger wheel on the heavier taxi. I wish there was more information available on the taxis, but so far I have found very little.
