Thanks to innumerable appearances in movies and television shows, the classic bright yellow Checker taxicab is easily one of the most recognisable vehicles in the world. The origins of the Checker company has many branches and can be traced as far back as to 1908, when the De Schaum Motor Syndicate Company of Buffalo, New York, started making cars. Many mergers, takeovers and relocations followed before automotive history was made when the first Checker taxi was introduced by the Commonwealth Motors Corporation. The Checker Cab Manufacturing Company was founded in 1922, and the following year the business moved into a factory at Kalamazoo, Michigan, where it was to remain in existence for 86 years. Although the familiar fleets of working Checker taxis as seen on the cinema and TV screens have long since disappeared from the busy streets of New York and other major US cities, these iconic yellow cabs are still used for special occasions and preserved examples can now be found in many countries around the globe. This portfolio covers the final 25 years of production up to 1982. Included are road tests, new model updates, performance data, plus a comprehensive history. Models reported on include, Superba, Supercab, Marathon & Limousine plus the 9 & 12 seater Aerobus.
