Grand and Petit Taxi's
This battered old Chevy is a more unusual example of the Moroccan Grand taxi, most seemed to be battered 70s vintage Mercedes. The Grand taxi can seat up to six passengers and has no meter, fares can be negotiated before you hire one. The other type of taxi of which two can be seen in the background is the Petit taxi, they can carry three passengers and have a meter fitted. The Petit taxi is only used within the city limits and are amazingly cheap,anywhere in town for about £1.80p.

John is right, these have an outboard motor on them now and are used to sail to florida as you can see in the link: http://www.floatingcubans.com/buick.jpg
ReplyDeleteThat car looks like my first one, a 67 Plymouth Fury - bench seats!!
ReplyDeletebut on closer inspection it is infact a Chevy Impala. I'm guessing the year will be in the mid60s

What a brilliant idea, I've been thinking lately we in nyc should have half our cars be tiny cars for single passengers at small distances, while the other boats can handle the longer rides.
