Hey Vince!
The Checker is neat! What a great car.
Had to be, to last for years as a NYC taxi.
What is the truck that is pulling the trailer?
Looks like a very old Ford...
Thanks and keep us posted on the resto.

Will do! Mine is a 'civilian' model (an A12, versus the A11's, which were taxicabs), and believe it or not, a 1980. Hopefully it should be done in a few weeks.

I'm not really sure what that truck is -- I think it's a conglomeration of a COE, a sleeper cab, and who knows what else!
 
The cab of that truck towing the neat Checker looks like a custom in itself, and the cab may be the same as this Ford. But this one is simply the restored cab grafted onto an Isuzu truck chassis!

Vince--very nice!
Thanks for keeping us posted.
What engine does your Checker have? I think I read somewhere they used GM engines, and I could be very wrong...
