Four different Cleveland Cab cars,the original Yellow cab which is in the Cleveland Western Reserve Historical Society
the point of This Flashback Friday is this what a taxi cab looked like back in the day not a Ford Crown Victoria, or a Chevy Impala but and Honest To God CHECKER MARATHON CAB. My Dad and his Brother Evan were Cleveland Taxi Cab Drivers. Hell I even drove a cab for a while when I lived in California. I had the pleasure of driving a cab for Mr. Erol DeBock's City Cab Company in West Sacramento California way back in the late 70's. When I find a picture of my cab I will post it.
Now what passes as a cab here in Cleveland now adays!
Cleveland Zone Cab Co.(owned by Yellow Cab Co.)

Those old cabs were built like tanks, and i really like the way they looked. Thanks for posting this!
