Tazio Nuvolari ◊ 2008-02-11 22:31	Or the Impala? Can anyone from the US give any clues? Are most of these cabs Caprices or Impalas? The latter seem more appropriate for the job, since they are more 'utilitarian' than the Caprice, or not?

Yes, Impala's are much more often used than Caprices as taxis (at least models from before 1986). It is very strange that this taxi is a Caprice and not an Impala...
