See the poster, do you believe now the impressive potential of the 1968 Dodge Coronet?, well the Chrysler marketing team was totally optimistic and proved success from the beginning, starting from the beautifully master-crafted poster, polished all by no computer intervention in full analog methodology, it was just a mechanism to conquer all American fleets, but not just any fleet but the big taxi and police fleets. The promotion including 1 free car every 10, plus the lowest initial price with the most reliable warranty made the coronet the most popular mid-sized car of the time. However the poster is timeless, thumbs up for the anonymous author.
Taxidepot's Special Gallery :::::PRESENTS:::::: "TAXI artWORKS By Gloria Gonzalez Gallego
Taxidepot boss Al Gallego commissioned 20 Taxi artworks to Gloria Amparo Gonzalez Gallego in 2008. The Colombian deaf artist despite her international and national success, was very humble and willing to help her uncle with this beautiful vision of "Taxi Nostalgia and Beyond"
The exhibition "Taxi Nostalgy and Beyond" was part of "La Esquina" gallery in Long Island City, NY. And it is currently exhibited in the Taxidepot Headquarter Gallery of New York and Taxidepot web Gallery
The Artwoks of Gloria Gonzalez Gallego are born from the sounds of silence as an internal light that flourishes galloping in a fascinating journey of magic realism. The space is sustained on intimacy in an autonomous universe of picturesque nature to pass in protagonic peace beyond the limits of man emotions.
Although her methods and techniques seem to be diverse, they converge with the fine use of lithography mixed techniques that involve the formation of intrinsic textures and shapes, allowing her to expand and experiment with different materials such as dry leaves and earth and oily crayons to ultimately capture her artistic expression.
A "New" Ohmer Has Been Restored
Taxidepot Boss went back in time in full gear programming action. No digital meters or oscilloscopes were involved in such complex machinery micro-operation other that his primary instincts and imported skills acquired in Sweden back in 1970's. It was the rumor in the office, since last May when Al Gallego was commissioned to restore an Ohmer Taximeter Circa 1924. However, it was not until today that we could officially confirm such clandestine operation and celebrate the triumph of this successful fine-watchman surgery. Please let us "Re-Introduce" the great Ohmer Taximeter Circa 1924. Thanks Boss
