Like this picture which I saw in the bus station in Stockholm last week. It was taken in the 1960s and shows
some of the city’s taxi fleet. As we can see Mercedes play a big role, as they so often do in the taxi world. I’ve identified the ones that aren’t Mercs. Can you do the same? Note the oblong (ish) headlights, not a common thing then.

Multiple Ford P5, three Plymouth Valiant and what to me looks like an Opel Rekord P2.

You missed the Ford Corsair, but I have the benefit of having seen the original picture! I hadn't known that the Corsair was exported in lhd.

Dagen-H was 3
September 1967, but even before then most cars in Sweden were lhd, I think because people were expecting a change at some stage (even though they overwhelmingly rejected the idea in referendums). The Volvo PV544 was made throughout its life in a country that drove on the left but was never made in rhd.

I had thought something Soviet too but the chromy taxis are actually Ford Taunus 17Ms. Bonus Renault 17 with full length sunroof.
