HistoryEdit
Initially sold for use as a taxicab, the Model D-1 was introduced as a "drive-yourself" model in 1924.
Yellow Cab introduced the Ambassador in 1921 and explained that "this car was being made up to order".<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The Ambassador was available as a 4-passenger sport or 7-passenger touring for US$4,500, as well as a Berlin limousine or sedan for $6,500.<ref>Template:Cite bookTemplate:Page needed</ref> All featured a Template:Convert wheelbase and a special 6-cylinder Continental L-head engine.<ref>Template:Cite journal</ref>
In 1925 Yellow Cab was taken over by General Motors. John D. Hertz remained as president and the Ambassador D-1 model became the "Hertz". Apart from a larger engine in 1927, production continued with little change until 1928. Most were sedans, although other body styles were available.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref>
