Stange that the Chicago Checker Cab Company logo is on the rear door of a yellow cab. Chicago Checker Cab company ran green and ivory Checkers. CMC (Checker Cab Manufacturing) does own both the Chicago Yellow Cab fleet as well as the Checker Checker Cab fleet(green and very). CMC still owns both fleets today via one of the CMC shadow companies.

Just rewatched this movie in HD, the logo on the back door says "CHEAPER TAXI COMPANY INC" so I'm thinking it was just a label made up by the props department and put on a plain yellow A11.
