Here is a very neat staged picture (obviously !) of the Checker cab which has been done beautifully in a couple of colors in 1/43 scale. In this picture, it is driving right through a hotel lobby apparently !

Probably going to pick up the folks whose Packard was stuck in the ballroom.

The provision of adequate air cooling for the front brakes and for the removal of excess heat from the engine compartment are outstanding features of the design.

It is a unique design and very suited to it's usual work environment !

I have the Automodello New York version and absolutely love it. What a uniquely styled car.

And just think of the thousands of dollars saved in fender (wing) repairs.
