Certainly not a traditional taxi, but this 1939 Eight by Henney for American Airlines represents a long string of such vehicles made by a variety of builders. One of the earliest such vehicles I've seen a picture of is based on an early Twin-Six. This picture from an article on Packard buses published in The Cormorant, Winter 1974.

A really elegant-looking vehicle, consistent with the eliteness associated with air travel in that era.
