The Saf-T-Cab Corporation of Cleveland, Ohio was a Cleveland taxi business owned by Errett Lobban Cord. The taxicabs were initially built in the Auburn factory in Auburn, Indiana but were quite separate from the Auburn automobile. The Saf-T-Cab was powered by a special six-cylinder bus-type engine and had a heavy-duty chassis frame.
E. L. Cord took control of Checker Motors in 1933 and Checker built a Saf-T-Cab based on the Checker Model T taxi from 1933 to 1936 in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The following is a hub emblem used on the Checker built Saf-T-Cab. This Saf-T-Cab hub emblem is rare.
