1923 Yellow Cab Model A-2 Brougham Taxi

The history of this 1923 Yellow Cab Model A-2 Brougham Taxi can be traced back to Ray Graber, of San Diego, California, from whom it was acquired by Harrah's Automobile Collection. At the time, it was still in its very original and period Union Cab Company livery when it was sold at the 1979 Harrah Auction. The Imperial Palace later acquired the car had treated it to a restoration. The car was finished in the classic taxi colors of black and yellow, and there is brown leather upholstery in both the front and rear. There is a correct meter, a 'For Hire' sign, a 'Vacant' light, and the correct headlamps mounted on the cowl.

Mr. John Moir later acquired the car and entered his 'A to Z' collection.

This Brougham Taxi is powered by a 178.9 cubic-inch Continental L-head inline four-cylinder engine offering 18.23 NACC hp. There is a three-speed manual transmission and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes.
