I am nit convinced the car in post #115 is a taxi model. The wheel beauty rings, roof mounted radio antenna, the lack of a roof light, and no taxi markings lead me to believe that it is a six cylinder Clipper passenger car. The 1947 taxis were built with many heavy duty features like springs, brakes, clutch, generator, regulator, rear end, six ply tires, and smaller turning radius than the Clipper passenger cars. If it is a taxi he must be going to pick up a hunting party in the woods. Ask the man who owns one. lol Packardtaximan
