did anyone make a checker mogul kit? the taxi cab version? curbside is ok,
though a six banger motor would be cool. they did put up to 350 v8's in some
of the civilian models. the limos wuold have small blocks, too.
speaking of limo's, i would like 2 kits to hack a limo, but one will do.
if i had a real life limo, it would be a stretched checker. sweet rides.

It's possible they have produced a die-cast model but no plastic ones
that I know of. IIRC, '83 was the last year for Checkers. The company
still exists but they stopped building cars.

83 is correct. i'm surprised at no kit. that is a really important vehicle.

It wouldn't be the only really important auto without a kit, or plane
either for that matter.
