For example, Lincolns were originaly popularized in the late 1920s by both bootleggers and the cops who chased them due to their speed and relative light weight. -- Last edit: 2007-01-29 21:49:36

The 160 and 180 also had chrome headlight rims. Most likely it's the 6 cylinder 110 which Packard produced specifically as a taxi (model 1462). The least expensive 4-door 180 in 1941 was 2,632.00 USD... this would be an unlikely choice for a taxi. The taxi model sold for 1,100.00 USD (still an expensive taxi).
