So I kinda thought that the previous pics were Packard factory/marketing photos... but the above pic would lead me to believe that the Packard cabs in NYC actually had a big Packard coat of arms on the door and the rates remained the same from 1941 to at least 1948.
Fascinating stuff.

Apart from these Taxis I think my car is one of the few 22nd Series to have a light coloured roof with a dark coloured lower portion - for the purists I know it's not correct - but I like it !!

I do think it's odd that Packard went from light over dark 2 tones (more visually lowering) in 1941 to the dark over light. I believe the 22nd series factory 2 tones were green, brown, or blue tops on Egyptian Sand bottoms. Plus a 2 tone with greens that sounds interesting but I've never seen.
