Click above for more shots of the Ford Transit Taxi.
Our new favorite friend Chris sent us over a handful of shots showing a Ford Transit done up in taxi livery. The black and yellow people mover was apparently caught during a photo shoot in the Big Apple, possibly ahead of its official unveiling next week during the New York Auto Show (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/NewYorkAutoShow/). While it's hard to make out what mods have been done to the interior, the exterior's revised paint scheme and lettering has a decidedly futuristic feel. We definitely like the idea of a Transit shuttling city-goers around Gotham, and judging by the paint scheme, the 21st century taxis we envisioned in our youth aren't too far off.
