Not "Taxi", 9C6. |

But again, can you prove that this designation was used that far back, before 1986? |

And I'm not sure whether it's a 1985, or a real NYC taxi for that matter. All of the markings look wrong. |

Taxis in NYC during the 80's weren't guaranteed to have the markings of the 90s (since it all depended on what garage it came from). As for the designation, weren't the two major ones used when the Impala first came out (9C1 brochures can be found here and there, I never saw a 9C6 brochure at all for any model except the 1990's Lumina sedan). If I was wrong about that, then ignore it. |

I see. But couldn't we say that this might be a prop car? Especially if it's a two-star vehicle in a music video and it has non-factory wheels/covers? By the way, check this link out. Scroll down about halfway through to find the 1986 Caprice 9C6: http://www.nwjcra.org/~dboyle/9c1/memoriam.html |
