Update 24.06.2026:
- Removed some unnecessarily added resources, which can lead to conflicts with other mods!
(including in the other color variants)

Update 10.06.2026:
- Added 8 new color schemes to the original yellow variant

The archive includes all the 9 color variants in separate packages. You have to choose only one!

This is a fully functional mesh override mod for the base game taxi, replaced with the 2008 model year Ford Crown Victoria taxi cab, popular across major cities in the US.

I created this override mod to replace the pathetic vanilla cab with an existing, real life taxi that has a presence in modern history, and also has stylish and eye catching design.

Mesh details:
The model is low-poly, based on the 2008 modification on the 2002 extended wheelbase model.

High LOD - 3.3k vertices, 4.2k faces (lower than the original)
Medium LOD - 2.3k vertices, 2.6k faces
Low LOD - 2.0k vertices, 2.3k faces
