Yellow Cab

Yellow Cab

Yellow Cab ist eine Slang-Bezeichnung für Taxis in New York, welche sich üblicherweise auf Fahrzeuge vom Typ Checker Cab beziehen. Ursprünglich entstanden ist dieser Ausdruck bereits um das Jahr 1900, als der Autovermieter John Daniel Hertz Wagen mit Chauffeur durch New York fahren ließ. Diese Fahrzeuge hatte er, damit sie auffallen, gelb lackieren lassen.
