A new beefcake calendar featuring a group of topless and nearly naked New York cabbies may be the best advertisement ever — for taking an Uber!

The 2016 NYC Taxi Drivers Calendar is filled with pictures of a dozen homely hacks, proudly displaying their beer guts, back hair and dad bods.

Mr. October lounges across the hood of his yellow cab like an auto-show model, his nipples tastefully covered in leaves. Mr. May lies seductively in the trunk of his car, his stick shift practically exposed for all to see.

The calendar by photographer Shannon Kirkman and hubby Philip — is meant as a tongue-in-cheek sendup of more serious hunk calendars featuring attractive male models, like the popular FDNY version.

“There are many stereotypes against cabbies, and I hope these show people that cabbies are no different from you and I,” said Philip Kirkman, who started the project as a gag gift and who now prints several thousand copies a year.

Taxi driver David Graves, 57, who is featured in the calendar holding a slice of New York pizza, says has no problem showing riders his sensual side.

“They put me in a variety of poses and wanted me to pose with pizza,” said Graves, who has been driving a yellow cab for 16 years. “I was fine with that. I like pizza — and I’m not so much of a diva yet that I can call the shots.”
