FIG. 2 is an elevation view of one end of the taxi-top advertising unit of FIG. 1, the opposite end of which is identical; and,

FIG. 3 is a perspective view of taxi-top advertising unit of FIG. 1.

A view of the bottom of the taxi-top advertising unit has been omitted since it is flat and unornamented. In the drawings, the broken lines extending below the unit depict environmental structure and form no part of the claimed design. The broken line rectangles shown on the front and sides of the unit in FIG. 1 to 3 are for illustrative purposes only and form no part of the claimed design.
