Taxicaps from 1910´s

[Juha Paavo Kaita]

Hi!

Here in Turku we had several taxi stations around the center of town. This photo shows a station called Hotel Phoenix. The building in the picture is Hotel Phoenix. Cars in the row are: the 1 st car N.A.G., the 3rd car Opel and the 4th car N.A.G. The 2nd car is bit hard. Could it be Martini? Martini cars were manufactured in Switzerland from 1897 till 1934. There was a company called "Turun Insinööritoimisto which sold Martini car in Turku. The first police car in our town was Martini.

Greetings
