Background
The Checker Model A is a taxicab produced by Checker Motors Corporation. The Model A was introduced mid-model year in 1939, and was built in 1941, when Checker switched over to wartime manufacturing, as did the rest of the automotive industry. The Model A was offered in a new landaulet version that included an electric disappearing top, an early sunroof. In addition, the new model came equipped with an automatic signal to warn pedestrians that the car was being reversed.
