1923 Yellow cab model A2 18.23 NACC hp, 178.9 cu. in. Continental L-head inline four-cylinder engine, three-speed manual transmission, solid front and rear axles with leaf-spring suspension, and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 109 in. The car’s known history has been traced back to Ray Graber, of San Diego, California, from whom it was acquired by Harrah’s Automobile Collection. It was still in its very original and period Union Cab Company livery when it was sold at the 1979 Harrah Auction. Later, it was acquired by the Imperial Palace and restored. The car still wears that restoration, in the classic taxi colors of black and yellow, and it has hard-wearing brown leather upholstery in both the front and rear. Its accessories are wonderfully complet, including its correct meter, a “For Hire” sign, a “Vacant” light, and the correct headlamps mounted on the cowl. Mr. Moir was able to acquire two authentic Yellow Cab jacks for the car at Hershey, and these accompany it, along with an original Hertz manual and some documentation of its history.
