One of the greatest movies of all time – Martin Scorsese’s 1976 ‘Taxi Driver’ – created two very different but equally brilliant stars in Robert De Niro and a very young Jodie Foster. There was another star of course; the bright yellow Checker Marathon cab driven by De Niro’s Travis Bickle. Already world famous, the Checker didn’t need the movie to earn its notoriety, but it did probably become much cooler as a result. This perfect replica of the iconic classic cab comes from TLCB regular Ralph Savelsberg aka Mad Physicist, and you can see more here.

Needs a few dents to be really authentic

A slightly tired looking Mercedes estate is one of our favourite cars here at The Lego Car Blog. Why? Because they are probably the toughest vehicle ever made. After 15 or so years of faithful service in Europe many were shipped to Africa where they pound the awful roads as taxis, reaching galactic milages. Senator Chinchilla is the builder behind this one, and you can check it out on MOCpages.

You talkin’ to me?

A trembling elf returned to The Lego Car Blog Towers holding on to Misterzumbi‘s recreation of the iconic character, and cab, from Martin Scorsese’s 1976 masterpiece ‘Taxi Driver’.

The little chap has certainly expanded his vocabulary since watching the film. None of his new found words are printable here.
