58L-Y8 Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 (edited) This is listed as a 1930 GMC Taxi though I would think it was titled a Yellow cab for the Yellow Coach and Truck Division. Whatever the case, it might be a sole survivor. https://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/cto/d/puyallup-1930-gmc-taxi/7054284488.html Added pictures for the record.

Looks like it has, or had, a division window between driver and passenger(s). I'm guessing the slot by the driver is for passing fare and change through?

Hudsy Wudsy Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Here's a link to a Hemmings article about the taxi from "It's a Wonderful Life". It's nearly identical: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/2018/12/19/aaca-museum-hosting-ernies-gmc-taxi-from-its-a-wonderful-life/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motoringicons Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 This would be a real show stopper once restored. A great piece of Americana. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 I agree, it's pretty cool. Does $6,500 sound like a fair price for this car in it's current condition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walt G Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 REALLY COOL! I have a screw on brass hubcap that says Yellow Phila. on it; bought it at one of Austin Clark's Iron Range Days 40+ years ago. That cap must weigh at least pound . ( no it is not for sale) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdome Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 Do you know what engine is in these taxis? GMC trucks thru the 20's & 30's used Buick engines. The car has a buick look to it too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
