Well here's your chance. I received an e-mail the other day from Mike Cowen announcing a special run of beautiful Checker taxicabs.They come in two versions, New York City & Chicago. Of course, being partial to yellow and modeling NYC, you know the one I am ordering one of them. They sell for $ 119.99, but if you are an OGF/NABCC member and register your e-mail to the site below, you will get a $ 25.00 coupon that you can apply. mailto:automodellostore@gmail.com; Jim is now a new member of the OGF.

This taxi looks European. Were they ever used in New York City or Chicago? Tx.

Here's some information on the Checker motor company:
