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&#8217;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?\u00a0To 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?<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>If you do know what year the car is, please leave me a comment.<\/p>\n<p>Click on the picture to<span style=\"color:#ff6600;\"> Z O O M<\/span> in.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/FZ18\/zoomr3.htm?jpg=Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3574.jpg=checker-marathon-5.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/cars\/small\/Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3574.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/FZ18\/zoomr3.htm?jpg=Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3573.jpg=checker-marathon-3.html\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/cars\/small\/Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3573.jpg\" width=\"225\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/FZ18\/zoomr3.htm?jpg=Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3576.jpg=checker-marathon-4.html\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/cars\/small\/Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3576.jpg\" width=\"225\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/FZ18\/zoomr3.htm?jpg=Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3578.jpg=checker-marathon-6.html\"><img alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/pinball2k.net\/cars\/small\/Checker_Marathon_Wagon-3578.jpg\" width=\"225\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nClick on the picture to<span style=\"color:#ff6600;\"> Z O O M<\/span> in.<\/p>\n<p>I found this video on the Checker Wagon.<\/p>\n<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Eo74UeLsQrE?feature=player_detailpage&amp;w=640&amp;h=360]<\/p>\n<p>\u00a9 Fred Winograd copyright 2009, 2013<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Click on the picture to Z O O M in.
