Due to the tragic events
that occurred on September 11, 2001, Lenticular Image LLC, in association
with Clear Channel Outdoor and Budde International/Cal Comp, has
launched the "9-11 Tribute Campaign", a series of lenticular
taxi tops to be displayed in Washington D.C. and New York City.
All seven versions will be displayed on taxis in support of our
fellow Americans and in tribute to those who lost their lives. Upon
completion of the campaign, these tops will be removed and auctioned
off on the internet site eBAY beginning November 1, 2001(search
taxi tops), where all of the profits will be divided between the
American Red Cross, The Survivors Fund - Washington D.C. area, and
the New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund.
The auction will end December 5, 2001. The following lists the different
