I never gave much thought that there was actually a company that built these cars. Checkers were taxis. Period. What an interesting work. Why hasn't anything been written about this company before? I very much enjoyed the concise format. Good detail, interesting story and the photos were very interesting as I have never seen many of these cars anywhere.

Jim has put together a terrific photo history of the Checker Motors Corporation. From the early Model C, to the stylish Model Y with it's fold down rear roof, the 4-wheel steering equipped Checker-Bantam Jeep prototype, the rare Transit Buses, the classy A-6, the 8-door Aerobus, right down to the last taxicab to roll off the assembly line. A fine selection of photos, advertisements, technical drawings and more complemented with very informative text.
