yep Johnny -

the Checker Cabs did have a strong resemblence to a mid 50's chevy... they stopped producing them around 1982. They were all over NYC when I was a kid. You very rarely see them around anymore.. I had my first ride to the hospital in a Checker Cab for some stitches. It was a nice riding vehicle and very roomy. They had these nifty round shaped ... bar stool looking kind of folding seats in them for additional passenger seating. For some reason I remember noticing that during that first trip. Anyway years later I learned that they did have SBC's in em.
