Its a Checker indeed: I first thought that a landaulet version of a 1928-31 Model K was the closest resembling model, but in fact it appears to be a 1931-3? Model M. All details seem to match, including the 2-tone paint job, the hinge location and the square position lights (or blinkers?) just in front of the windshield and the lamps on the roof side... Weird square headlamps...
