Guest Casper Friedrich Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Cadillac dominated the taxi cab fleet in the Swedish capital in the very early 20th century. At first curved dash Olds was tried, but it didn't have sufficent power.I recently found this newsreel witch reuses older material, The taxi cabs from 2:30>:Veckorevy 1959-12-14 (1959) - FilmarkivetAutomobilhistoriska Klubben Mässing & Nickel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Casper Friedrich Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) BTW the A 11146 at 2:37 is a Swedish built Vabis, before they merged with Scania in 1911. Automobilhistoriska Klubben Mässing & NickelI think the car at the left with the snake-shaped signal horn is a Belgian Minerva with sleeve-valve engine, quite common as a taxi-cab in Stockholm in the 1910s.Both representing the next generation in taxi-cabs with four cylinder engines Edited August 8, 2011 by Casper Friedrich (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
