Historic Alabama: Taxi Driver

A billboard on wheels

A Red Taxi sits at the Pan-American station at the corner of Bibb and Coosa streets in Montgomery in February 1949. The taxi served as a rolling billboard, here advertising G&S Cleaners. Montgomery’s Elks Lodge is visible in the background on the opposite corner. Photo courtesy of the Alabama Department of Archives and History.
