In 1967, New York City ordered all "medallion taxis" be painted yellow to help cut down on unofficial drivers and make official taxicabs more readily recognizable. Imagine a day when you might see this kitschy psychedelic number on the right. Photo: early 1960s...
Taxis from beyond "vintage": 1890, 1900 and 1973...

And, of course, below, the taxis of today, though Bloomberg's approved "green" cabs of the future, which look like hunchback bugs, will soon make NYC even more of a laughing stock than he's already accomplished (
i.e.: "Don't you dare smoke out of doors. It's dangerous!").
