A 1929 Dodge Model DA was driven from Uruguay to California to New York, in 1967, after a lifetime as a taxi. No one builds them like that anymore.


A 1929 Dodge Model DA four-door sedan, a right-hand-drive export model, with a six-cylinder flathead engine, wire wheels, dual side-mount spares, and a trunk mounted on the rear bumper used as a taxi in Montevideo, Uruguay, was driven up the Pan-American Highway to the United States in 1967 or ’68.



after arriving in California, it was driven around the U.S. before settling in Brooklyn, New York. 

The owner painted a white map on the dark blue car, and at most major stops he added the places he visited. In New York, everyone he encountered marveled at the accomplishment. Once established in Brooklyn, he started R.S. Refrigeration & Air Conditioning Company.
