Taxi Cab??

As frugal as Henry was, why would he go through the expense for a taxi? Why not just use a standard body style and slap a taxi sign on the top?
The Taxi trade cars got a lot of use - the 3 hinges on the rear door would increase the durability. Big cities like NY had specific requirements for a car to be used as a Taxi. Seating requirements even came into play. It wasn't profitable - Ford built less than 5,500. Coach builder Henney offered a stretched one built on the A.
