Twin City Veterans Livery

Coming soon to Greater Winston-Salem. Twin City Veterans Livery is a service of Twin City Veterans Bridge.

Back from Dre’s Detailing, October 2026.

He is called Mr. Jones, and he has done this work before.

Built in March 1965, he ran as a licensed London taxi until 1975. Then four years hauling hay on a farm southwest of London, a crossing to Texas in 1981, and 27 years in storage. A 30 month frame up restoration brought him back to the way he left the factory, down to a working meter that still counts fares in shillings and pence.

Sixty years on, he is ready for Winston-Salem.
