    Dang, I thought it was just the picture that made it so ugly at first, but seeing it again in another picture just hurts my eyes.

    Checked my "Car Spotters Guide" that go'es back to 1940 but only went back to '47 for the Checker so here is all I can come up with without doing a google search. It says they go back to 1922, maybe some one can come up with a year for that picture?

    At first, I thought it was ugly enough to be my ex-wifes ass, but it wasn't big enough.

  28. Apparently there's more than one reason you never ever see those Checkers anywhere, besides the fact that they were sold fleet only and usually worn out like a pencil eraser after test day when the taxi companies sold them off.
