Taxidepot's Concept Taxi of Tomorrow

Taxidepot's concept taxi is an extension of the excitement about the taxi of the future for New York. Our dream cab for New York city should resemble the proportional ratio of interior space and overall size of a London cab, this would set the right dimensions to seat 4 passengers with royalty-legroom, and up to 5 persons ride in great comfort. At the back, one long backseat will fit 3 of them; facing this, 2 retractable chairs will seat two more passengers and encourage conversation among them; a big door to pass through with big luggage and of course a wheelchair just as the London cab does. A generous sunroof inside the passenger cab is a must-have for the appreciation of the vertical landscape, and there should be no doubt about it.

About the car itself, we know we need a "green" engine which doesn't have to move the cars faster than 70 mph, and efficient enough to move a light and impact-resistant body and all the crew in it without stress. The transmission and suspension has to be military grade of course, and WiFi must be standard.

From 2014 to 2024 New York city will see just one of a kind of yellow Taxi in the streets. We'll see...

1968 Dodge Coronet Taxi, the poster side

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.
