Now available at our Dallas-Ft. Worth Showroom location is this unique and rare 1970 Checker Marathon-Medicar!

The Checker Marathon is an automobile produced by the Checker Motors Corporation of Kalamazoo, Michigan, between 1961 and 1982. It was marketed as a passenger car for consumers, as opposed to the similar Taxi, which was aimed at fleet buyers. Marathons were produced in both four-door sedan and four-door station wagon forms, and the rare eight-door, 12-seater 'Aerobus' wagon. Except for United States government-mandated 5 mph bumpers in 1974 and ongoing mechanical changes, the Marathon remained virtually unchanged during its 21-year production run. However, Checker did comply with all safety and emissions requirements while in production. The final Marathon was manufactured in 1982, when Checker exited the automobile manufacturing business. The company continued operations for an additional 27 years producing body stampings for General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler, until January 2009, when it entered bankruptcy liquidation as a result of the downturn in the USA auto industry.

In 1969 Checker introduced the Medicar, a special version of the Marathon designed to transport handicapped and non-ambulatory passengers. Built on a 129-inch wheel base chassis, the Medicar was designed to provide maximum comfort, safety and protection for...

The Checker Marathon was produced by the Checker Motors Corporation of Kalamazoo, Michigan, between 1961 and 1982. It was marketed as a passenger car for consumers, as opposed to the similar Taxi, which was aimed at fleet buyers. 1982 marked the last year for production of the infamous Checker. The 1982 we are offering here is rather special, stating it appeared on the tv show Phantom Works. This Marathon has been a civilian model its whole life and has been in possession of the current owner for 22 years. The engine was replaced in 1999 with a smooth Chevy 350 V8 equipped with a 4-barrel carb and a GM Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission. The car underwent a bit of restoration in 2009, being re-upholstered and paint by FantomWorks in Norfolk,...
