:wow: nice find! I never knew they were into taxi business, or let alone that their vehicles were turned into passenger/taxi vehicles.

That being said, we do have M.P. Moller as a make on this site. Should we call it M.P. Moller (with Diamont T inserted somehow) or Diamont T (with M.P. Moller as a coachbuilder?) ?

The question is not a problem, since the convention on coachbuilt vehicles is chassis maker followed by body builder.

It doesn’t matter if the chassis builder also does bodies, or the coachbuilder knocks out a few chassis from time to time.

Take the Leyland bus. Leyland built both chassis and bodies, so you could have Leyland/Leyland, Leyland/Duple, or whatever.

In this case I would suggest “Diamond T/M P Moller” is the way to go.

I suppose you're right. Looking at M.P. Moller's model list, there is no model which they themselves built after 1931, so I guess these were specially built, in small numbers, for some taxicab firms.

The only reference I can find (apart from that pic) of Diamond T in that link:

Quote By 1933 Morris Heit had left the Freed organization and formed his own firm, the Town Taxi Company. A small run of Moller taxicab bodies were built for Heidt using Diamond T taxicab chassis between 1933 and 1935, after which he turned to using standard Detroit-built iron.
