Ray B. ◊ 2008-03-24 12:10	It's the model name, like the more recent Checker Marathon
antp ◊ 2008-03-24 16:13	Non-Marathon are listed as Taxicab model with A6/A11/etc. as code because Marathon were listed as A12. I do not know what is correct though. Maybe they should all be renamed then? -- Last edit: 2008-03-24 16:14:29

An A6 would have had four horizontal bars across the front end instead of an egg crate grille. The A6 also has a slightly raise rear roof for better headroom.
