DARRACQ, 1900s

FORD, 1930s

The first taxicab with a meter was the French-built Darracq.

DESOTO SKYVIEW, 1940s

CHECKER, 1950s

Purpose-built taxicabs like the DeSoto and the Checker dominated the business for many years.

More than 850 high-mileage Peugeot diesels hit the streets of the city in the 1980s.

CROWN VICTORIA, 1990s

The Ford Crown Victoria was the dominant vehicle in the city’s taxi fleet for many years.

The city tried to push high-mileage cars for a time.
