Having previosly joined the former Shaw Livery Company, he was able to imterest this firm to begin producing their own chassis for taxicab use. This action led to the formation of the Yellow Cab Manufacturing Company. The cab bodies were assembled at the Shaw facility. This venture was successful and in 1923 acquired the rights to the R+V Knight engine . Some Yellow Knights were produced as well as other brands carrying the names of Shaw, Colonial and Ambassador. Also Yellow began bus maufacture that same year. In 1925 Yellow was merged into the General Motors Truck Division. In 1930 this marque was renamed General Motors Cab. Production of General Cabs continued until 1938. The final cabs used a Chevrolet truck rear axle. The only known model of a Yellow Cab in small scale was produced by Tootsietoy in their early years and represents a cab from the early 1920s.
