They look like roadsters to me, not cabs ?

As T’s would do the first two are marking their spot! Probably the rest were too.

Wouldn't we all like to have all those shiny new model ts!
I see at least 10 cars.

My first T, a '20 runabout was just like those maybe even better. The paint on that car really had depth. Wish I still had it.

Reminds me of a scene from the movie Once Upon a Time in America. Man! I really enjoyed that movie.

With room enough for just one passenger, I don’t think they are cabs, but they do appear to be some sort of fleet for parcel or dispatch drivers. I would wager the license plates are very similar. I see the first one ends in 404, the next one, 407 and the rest are probably 40 something. A great photo with plenty of eye candy. If we knew what building they were sitting in front of, that might help identify them. Thank you for posting it. Jim Patrick
