Plymouth 1940's Taxi - Universal studios, Orlando, Florida, USA.
If you zoom in to these coordinates on Google Earth the Yellow Taxi is easily viewed. Many people stop & have their photo taken alongside the car, but you are not allowed to sit inside.

"Plymouth sold 2563 units as taxi cabs in 1937, with the makings of increased durability in the chassis and body. In the first year that specially marked chassis were destined and recorded as taxi vehicles in the Plymouth line. It was also the last [year Chrysler recorded taxi sales separately] for the next 20 years or so!

Plymouth's first 6 cylinder engine in 1933 was designed to compete directly with the Ford V-8 that was introduced in 1932. The first Ford V-8 engines were far from the best, especially in durability. They burned pistons like marshmallows at a campfire girls meeting, used tremendous amounts of oil from poor piston ring sealing, and threw water due to cooling jackets that surrounded and had to pass by the exhaust ports. They were also not as fast as people were lead to believe. Even in 1933, a good tuned Plymouth could wax a good tuned Ford V-8. The 189 cubic inch Plymouth 6 put out an honest 70 horsepower, five more than the vaulted Ford V-8. Plymouth's 6 also had more low end torque. There was an optional aluminium head for the engine that boosted compression, and horsepower to 76." Text Source: (visit link)
