this is a must have- not only for some vintage scenes, but it will be a show stopper if that Taxi car show/meet-up ever gets off the ground.Comment

Dan, Dan, Dan, it was made by Checker Motors, Kalamazoo, MI. This model dates from mid-1950's and was made into the early 80's. The later years did have Chevy engines. Google them. Tough as nails and tough on the eyes too.👍 1Comment

I didn't know about the Rabbit but I know they were working on a Citation. GM would not commit to suppling bodies in the volume required.Comment

As mentioned by Leroy the Checker was a true independent company based in Michigan. After they ceased auto production they still were a supplier of auto parts up till a few years back before ceasing operations entirely.
I forgot to mention in my post this is from The Hobby Shop Series #7 which was found this past weekend @ Meijers in Terre Haute, IN.Comment
