I hadn't intended on featuring Holden models all week, but since I got started and I have more than a couple I changed my mind. So here's another one that's pretty cute and different.

According to the info I found, Yellow Cab Co. was founded in 1924 and operated in parts of Australia. Unfortunately I couldn't find any photos of a '53 Holden cab (other than my own) I did see some later years.

Very cool!  Thanks John.  I agree the early Holden makes a cute little taxi.
