Vintage NYC Yellow Cab

Yellow Cab Rental NYC: The Classic Yellow Taxi

Our vintage NYC yellow cab is the yellow taxi most New Yorkers actually grew up hailing — a real, road-legal Crown Victoria / Lincoln Town Car-era NYC taxi (2009–2014) from the last generation of purpose-built NYC yellow cabs. It reads instantly as “New York taxi.”

It’s fully drivable and fully brandable, inside and out, and keeps the classic roof taxi light as a brandable topper. Like every vehicle in our fleet, it’s owned, wrapped, and fabricated entirely in-house.

• Model: Crown Victoria & Lincoln Town Car (2009–2014)

• Branding: fully drivable and brandable exterior + interior

• Topper: classic roof taxi light, brandable

• Best for: classic “everyday NYC” brand moments

Calzedonia: “Serve Legs”

For Calzedonia, we built the yellow cab a custom “Serve Legs” roof topper with sculpted legs in tights kicking up from the “Calzedonia — The Tights Expert” taxi light. Parked curbside, the cab became the photo moment, with guests posing at the door and stepping out of the cab.

NikeCourt: Two Branded Cabs

NikeCourt ran two branded yellow cabs: a black Swoosh across the hood, NikeCourt lettering along the sides, and custom roof toppers — including “It’s all love, until it’s not.”

On the street, the cabs anchored a full NikeCourt moment, with a crowd gathered and an umpire chair set up behind them on a Manhattan street.

Alexander Wang: 3D Roof Props for Fashion Week

For NYC Fashion Week, Alexander Wang’s team rented our yellow cab and collaborated with us on an oversized 3D prop concept: custom-fabricated branded underwear mounted to the cab’s roof, with the hood wrapped white for the shoot. The result was a viral, visually bold moving billboard.

SKIMS × Swarovski: The Crystal Cab

For SKIMS × Swarovski, we wrapped our vintage Town Car-era cab in high-gloss chrome with minimalist branding, then hand-applied Swarovski crystals across the body and added a 3D-printed topper and mirrored logos — down to the “KIM K” plate. The cabs doubled as branded transport and event centerpieces. Executed under tight deadlines, completely in-house. See the full project.
