ZiL135 ◊ 2008-08-09 21:06	Checker Marathon?
firebird86 ◊ 2008-08-09 22:08	yes, A12 I believe
DynaMike ◊ 2008-08-09 22:25	If A12, then A12E (it's a LWB). I'd use the [A12E] rather as a chassis code. The LWB was called Town Custom, Limousine or DeLuxe sedan, depending on the year...
firebird86 ◊ 2008-08-09 22:28	I thought the A12/A11 codes were in reference to the trim level, ie painted bumpers ect. E codes were applied to extended length units. Am I incorrect?
firebird86 ◊ 2008-08-09 22:46	Checker Motors built cars from 1922 to 1982. Very few examples exist of anything before 1962. The classic taxi body Checkers are known for was used from 1961 through 1982. For the purposes of this discussion, basically, there were two models: the A-11 Taxicab and the A-12 Marathon built on a 120 inch wheelbase. The differences between the two models were mostly a matter of trim and finish. copied from: link here -- Last edit: 2008-08-09 22:47:26

This used the jump seats mounted to the back of the front seat. The A11E was the taxi/fleet version built on the 129 inch wheelbase. This used an actual fold down bench mounted on the front seat. The A12 series were the civilian version, with the A12E being the 129 inch wheelbase, and the A12W the Town and Country limousine. They are otherwise identical aside from minor trimwork. Think of it like the Crown Victoria. The actual Crown Victoria was removed from civilian sales, and the Grand Marquis replaced it for civilian sales, as a Ford (but kept all its Mercury trims). -- Last edit: 2012-02-15 21:25:12
