Few Images for Robert Geco.. 
Checker A11 1981. 1:18 SunStar
The founder of Checker Motors corporation, Morris Markin died in 1970. Seven years after his death, retired GM President Ed Cole bought into Checker with the intent of re-energizing the company and developing a new, more modern Checker. (Ed Cole is the one who had given chance to the father of corvette Zora Arkus-Duntov) Cole's plan was to purchase partially completed Volkswagens, cut them in half, insert a section to lengthen the VW, raise the roof and then sell the reconfigured vehicle as a taxi; however, Cole died when his plane crashed near Kalamazoo.......
