re where can i get a new york taxi in article ncrcan canada ncr ca tnelson ncrcan canada ncr ca tim nelson writes the older ny taxis were made by the checker car company and i would love to have one or is the checker car company still in business checker motors went out of business in it s hard to get old checkers that are worth restoring since almost every one was a fleet vehicle that was driven into the ground if you can get a body in decent shape the mechanicals should all be available somewhere checker used whatever parts were around for instance i had a chevy straight six and a gmc truck radiator and a ford rear in mine the model that i am looking for is the checker marathon actually you want a checker special if you can find one good luck i m sorry i let mine go
