Hardly any vehicle is as inextricably linked to a city as the yellow taxi is to New York City. Since the 1900s, the distinctive “Yellow Cabs” have shaped the streetscape of the Big Apple and, through countless movies, TV shows, and photographs, have become a world-famous symbol of American urban romance. With the distinctive “TAXI” lettering on the door, they race through Manhattan’s urban canyons, indispensable to locals and tourists alike. During the Christmas season, the taxi becomes the ultimate symbol of a contemplative holiday spirit, as decorated trees and gifts are hauled through the city—a quintessentially New York scene caught between the hustle and bustle and the anticipation of the holidays.
The figurine recreates a classic New York City taxi in bright yellow with black accents and the characteristic checkerboard pattern. Perched on the roof is a small Christmas tree complete with glittering gifts wrapped in silver and gold.
