Re: Knight Of The Juggernaut question
It's a Checker Taxicab. They were very popular in the US back in the days, just like the black London cabs.
This is the same model used in Taxi Driver with Robert De Niro.
Take a look. These are several ones used in movies.

Re: Knight Of The Juggernaut question
oh cheers thanks
I guess it makes sense once you tool up to produce them and you make so many of the same car year after year they get cheaper to make.
thanks for your help.

In Brooklyn, NY they had one of those taxis parked at a corner of a gas station to have them serve as exhibits. If anyone had more of those kinds of taxis to contact an organization.
