A thought about the past Flashback Friday

Four different Cleveland Cab cars,the original Yellow cab  which is in the Cleveland Western Reserve Historical Society

the point of This Flashback Friday is this what a taxi cab looked like back in the day not a Ford Crown Victoria, or a Chevy Impala but and Honest To God CHECKER MARATHON CAB. My Dad and his Brother Evan were Cleveland Taxi Cab Drivers. Hell I even drove a cab for a while when I lived in California. I had the pleasure of driving a cab for Mr. Erol DeBock’s City Cab Company in West Sacramento California way back in the late 70’s. When I find a picture of my cab I will post it.
Now what passes as a cab here in Cleveland now adays!
