Black Livery Cars, NYC

Now that the Lincoln Town Car has gone the way of the dodo bird, it seems the livery car market in NYC is dominated by the GM truck trio: many, many shiny Cadillac Escalades (doesn't that mean "Social Climber"?) or its corporate cousins, the Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon. You see the odd Ford Expedition in black, with livery plates, and the rare Lincoln Navigator, but GM seems to own the trade. Re meter cabs:  Saul Leiter's multicolored cabs are of course long gone, and so are the Checkers of the Sixties and Seventies, the boxy Chevys of the Nineties, and the Crown Vics of the 2000s. Now it's a medley of mostly imports. Perhaps Toyota has a plurality, with the Highlander, but there are many different species of yellow cab out there.
