Spotted this Checker Cab at Menard’s today. A little rust, but not bad overall.

Ah yes the Checker. Cockroach of cars. They will survive anything.

Yep. I love that the bumpers are basically just pieces if guardrail.

Hilarious that it almost seems as big as the 11-seater Econline next to it.

Lots of cars have been called tanks, like the W123/124, say, but this, now THIS is a tank.

God, I want one of these.

The definition of simple and rugged. I would re-upholster the interior if I got one. Taxis are nasty.

Yes! The thing is MASSIVE, rear leg room is measured in feet, and the leaf spring on the rear axle had like 8 leaves in it. Very much a tank.
