Sorry gooseboy78, but the Checker A8 and all Checkers following were never based on 55 Chevys (not even loosely. Checkers early production designs for the 56 A8 date back to 1950. Checker was an independent manufacturer of autos and components from 1922 till 2009. |

The last cars were built in 1982, however. |

Sorry, but taxi cabs were labeled A-11 for the six-passenger cab, and A-11E (for Extended) for the 8-passenger cab (2 jump seats included. Non-Taxis are designated A-12 Marathon, and A-12E Marathon. This car Looks like "real" cab, missing the A-12E's Chrome side trim. If it is indeed a '64 it came with a Continental 226 "Red Seal" sv inline-6, or ist optional ohv variant with 80 and 141 bhp, respectively. Correct Designation for this car seems to me "Checker A-11E cab". |

Why in particular is this car labeled as a '64 rather than a '61 when this design first appeared? |
