One thing became very clear to me when I researched this car, it is very difficult to tell what year it is. I see this particular Checker series went from 1960 all the way to 1982 with very minor changes in the body style. This car has obviously been semi-restored and so I don’t know if the body has been changed. For instance, there are no side lights on this car; were they removed when body work was done? To me, the semi-professional observer, the car seems to be from the later years based on the interior and the back-up lights, but who knows?
Anyway, this car is a great example of the classic Checker wagon. One other note, notice the cell phone cable on the front seat, this was clearly not an original offering.
If you do know what year the car is, please leave me a comment.
