This week, we return to Idlewild Airport (now JFK) in New York City, in the Age of Swank. Here's the parking lot outside the Pan Am Worldport...
...and the taxi stand outside the TWA Flight Center.
See anything that stands out for you?

What is the white taxi between the two green and yellow Checkers?

I think the white taxi is a 1959-61 Studebaker Lark.

Lack of a subway or other rail station at that airport. Yeeps!

In the World Port pic, there's a beautiful white Studebaker Hawk parked nose-in in the third row. Makes all the others look like so much sheet metal waiting to be crushed :)
Can't identify the black import, also parked nose-in, two cars to the left of the Hawk. Looks tiny compared to its neighbours.
