A Checker Marathon that was never a taxi, escaping a working life by virtue of being bought new by a country club owner for his personal use

Bought to pair up with another Checker this 1975 checker was purchased by Edward Benjamin, founder of Starmount Country Club, Greensboro, North Carolina.

 Benjamin kept two Checkers: one at Starmount Farm, his Greensboro home; the other at his estate in New Orleans.

Benjamin motored about, inspecting his vast holdings, including Friendly Center, Starmount Country Club and many northwest Greensboro subdivisions.

He put 82,000 miles on this one in 5 years, it was bought by a stockbroker after that, and now belongs to a hotel owner who has it used to pick up guests from the airport, but not for fares. It's simply considered more interesting and spacious than a typical corporate business car.
