Modellpularn Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Cool conversion. I must also say the dash looks great! I'm just puzzled that the taximeter sits outside!!!??? I work as a taxi driver in Stockholm, and as far back as I can remember, the meter has always been inside the cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 50's it was outside of the car in so many places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gluhead Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I too thought I was looking at the work of Korkut until I got to the end. It just had that Korkut feel. 'Tis a very nicely done cab, Sait...very nice indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I don't remember meters in the taxi cabs in Izmir. This was 1966-68 and I remember we paid an iki bucuk to ride anywhere we wanted in a horse carriage and double that for a taxi. Great model! I enjoyed watching the build.

It looks very similar to the ones used in swedish taxicabs in the 60's and 70's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Geiger Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Here's a photo of a Turkish Dolmus taxi that reminds me of the era I lived in Izmir! I knew I had it somewhere in my files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyn Posted January 11, 2013 Share Posted January 11, 2013 Great looking car, and just different enough to really stand out. Your camera skills do a good job of showing off the high quality finish and chrome details too. Very nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
