This Kaiser taxi was not a familiar sight on America's streets. One owner, though, was quoted as saying "We like the cab's roominess" and "I recently drove a fare 400 miles and averaged 24 miles per gallon." This brochure doesn't mention a horsepower rating, but it was 100.

You could order your new Clipper Cab as a partition-type or with conventional sedan seating. Packard claimed their cab was "Taxi-Engineered". This was a pretty luxurious cab, but I wonder how economical it was, even with a 105 hp L-head Six. An unusual feature was a power-operated rear window for ventilation.

Willys claimed "get-up-and-go" performance and "higher operating profit" in this "smartest looking cab on the line."
Also touted was front and rear seating width more than 5 feet wide..."wider than any other standard taxicab built in America". The 75 hp L-head Lightning 6 powered it.
