Steve has the keenest Checker knowledge I've ever come across! He knew a 1939 Checker Model A from the back window!

  2. Would it be possible to have this Checker car made into a 1/48 scale die cast model ? many model railroaders would love to have these to fill their collections.

    1. A 1/43 scale version is in the works. It should be available sometime in 2016.

  3. Not to be picky, but I've just researched this model, and only the prototype was made in 1939. Production occurred from early 1940 through late 1941. It's possible a few more were assembled from parts on hand during and after the war. But the cab was definitely not yet in production in 1939.
