Re: Model A Taxi
Ford didn't make very many taxi cabs (5354 units) and production was short (January 1929 to February 1930). Briggs made all of them from Town Sedans modified for a meter and a rear facing jump seat on the passenger side (no front passenger seat). There was a partition wall that had glass windows between the drivers compartment and the rear seat area. Taxi lighting for the flicker lights and vacant sign were optional.
There were several other companies that built cabs from Fordors & Town Sedans so there was too much competition for the market and Ford was selling the other builders cars any way so it's no wonder they stopped production.
