A Checker Model T of 1934 .One can see the round hood inserts that are open here.The sides of the hood are unusual since these cars normally had 6 ventilation doors at each side of the hood. This one seems to have horizontal louvres with part of the exhaust passing externally. |

This is not a Checker. It is a 1927-1931 Taxi Cab built by the M. P. Moller Motor Car Company of Hagertown, Maryland USA. Moller produced the Dagmar from 1922 to 1926. Post 1926 Moller produced custom trucks and taxi cabs. Moller also produced pipe organs. Organ pipe would become a signature of Moller emblem motif. Its doutful that they actually were used for real exhuast pipes. |

Not to confuse the issue, but Moller produced various other taxicabs. Many were made as seperate makes. The make was dependent on the design and specification of the large taxi company's that contracted the manufacturing. In many ways this would be like Checker or Yellow building their own fleets, except manufacturing was subcontracted to Moller. Moller made: Pennant, Aristocat, Luxor, Blue Lite, Astor and Five Boros taxicabs. The Moller built taxicab depicted above is the 1927 to 1931 Five Boros taxicab built for Five Boros cab of New York City. Moller stop manufacturing taxicabs in 1937. |

Same model here: /vehicle_807962-M-P-Moller-Paramount-1930.html (but through a pic to the right proportions…) |

I assume Boros is short for boroughs, as in the then-five boroughs of New York City. -- Last edit: 2019-09-08 18:32:54 |
