|
|
| I recently heard that Chrysler built a standard DeSoto in its Detroit plant in the 1950's and those that were sold for taxicabs were shipped to another plant in Detroit where they were customized as cabs. This customization included stretching the body/wheelbase. If I recall back then a New York cab had to be a special purpose built vehicle and this must have been how Chrysler went about making it one. |
