Information on Box:  In America's ever-changing world of cars, the Checker taxicab is unique.  Checker Motors Corporation began manufacturing these cabs in the early 1920's.  And although a variety of models has appeared since then, the "character" of the cab-its sturdiness and simple box-shaped design, roomy comfortable ride and distinctive black-and-white checkerboard trim-has remained unchanged.

In 1926, when the "Roaring Twenties" were in full swing, Charleston the craze, and the "flapper" was causing a stir with her knee-high chemise, saucy cloche hat and sparkling wit, Checker produced and especially elegant cab.  This 4-door sedan featured a 4-cylinder, special safety bumper, and rear luggage space.  Its sleek body, decorated with the Checker insigna, ha a flat roof, curved fenders and ornamental grille which epitomized the simplicity of design that has become Checker's hallmark.
