| Unknown Alias Boston Blackie (1942) |
fsebus  | J'ai repéré un WHITE de 1929 dans mes books... En tous cas, la forme des ailes, les roues de secours , les jantes, les ouïes de capot, le pare-choc 2 lames,... le laisseraient supposer. Mais pas certain... |

Colorado Bill | Probably a Fageol Safety Coach. The low-slung (to keep it from tipping over!) construction was originally unique to them. | 2008-03-05 07:23 | |

| 1940 Checker Model A Landaulet Taxi Alias Boston Blackie (1942) |
superba | The gothic front-end headlights were designed to look like Checker Cab Manaufacturing, Inc. Chicago fleet's logo. Take a look at the picture of Cary Grant getting out of the green 1956-58 Checker A8 in the movie "North By Northwest". Look at the logo on the door, then look at the front headlights on this Checker Model A and you'll see they match. The Chicago Checker fleet used that logo up until the early sixties. The 1940 Model A was one of the most innovative taxis ever manufactured in America. The entire rear section of the roof was a steel clam shell that could be opened up for passengers to ride in convertable comfort. Unfortunately the tools a dies were melted down for the 1940's war effort. Checker did not produce another car until new dies were made in 1947. 99.9 percent of Model A's were built for taxi service. By 1947 most had been run till the wheels fell off. There is only one known survivor, a 1941 Limo, fully restored it resides in New York state. |

Dave41Packard | 1941 Packard 120 or 110. Isn't a 180 or a 160, you can tell by the bonnet fastening trim, and the bumper configuration (the 160's and 180's had flared ends). The 160 and 180 also had chrome headlight rims. Most likely it's the 6 cylinder 110 which Packard produced specifically as a taxi (model 1462). The least expensive 4-door 180 in 1941 was 2,632.00 USD... this would be an unlikely choice for a taxi. The taxi model sold for 1,100.00 USD (still an expensive taxi). | 2007-03-31 00:55 | |

Skid | Back then it wasn't unusual to see plush Packards, Cadillacs, Lincolns, and Chryslers fixed into taxis or even police cars. Cops, in fact, liked them for their big engines. For example, Lincolns were originaly popularized in the late 1920s by both bootleggers and the cops who chased them due to their speed and relative light weight. -- Last edit: 2007-01-29 21:49:36 |

Gag Halfrunt  | It was probably customised for a different film and retained by the studio. The old Hollywood studio system was still in force up until the 1950s. Most films were shot 'on the lot' (in soundstages or on outdoor backlot sets). The studios had large collections of costumes and props, and anything made or acquired for a particular film would go into the collection and be re-used. Sometimes B-movies were written to use sets left over from other productions. -- Last edit: 2007-01-29 21:45:51 |

Skid | It looks like some sort of Chrysler. The front looks similar (but not exactly) like a 1939 Chrysler, and it has suicide doors like an Airflow. I'm thinking it's customized, although I'm also wondering why they'd customize a car to be used in such a minor role. |

fintail | I will wager that's not a production car. I don't know what it was when it was built, but it wasn't wearing that front end. I like how they gave it suicide front doors...they even left the original door handle hole -- Last edit: 2007-01-29 21:28:41 |

wrenchhead | These were pretty low budget films and I doubt that they would have gone to the expence of modifying a car for a one scene taxi. |
