Did you know that Mr. Varney designed a fleet of NYC taxicabs in the 70’s? 🚕Featured in a Time Magazine Article, ‘Drab Cab Goes Fab’ -
“The company's 104 Checker cabs will have green-and-white checked vinyl-covered seats, red tweed weather-resistant carpeting, solid green jump seats and matching interior walls. Seat belts will be bright red and ceilings will be painted blue—with an occasional white cloud and colorful bird —symbolizing, no doubt, New York's sky-high fares. Says a Panglossian spokesman for Helen (named for no one): ‘Driver reaction has been surprisingly great. The drivers feel that it will stimulate bright conversation with their passengers.’
