“Cabbie”

In 1958, the iconic Checker A9 was introduced, becoming a symbol of New York City well into the 21st century. The famous Checker A9 was largely based on the 1956 A8, with the main difference being the dual headlights. Though it appeared ordinary from the exterior – resembling a typical car of that time – the Checker A9 offered some enticing advantages on the inside. The two extra seats allowed for up to five passengers in the back, while the completely flat floor and high, wide doors made entering and exiting the vehicle a breeze. Despite its spaciousness for passengers, the Checker A9 taxi was a mid-sized car, with a 120-inch wheelbase and a total length of 199.5 inches, making it easy to navigate through New York's streets. Moreover, Checker emphasized aspects other car manufacturers tended to overlook: low maintenance costs and a guarantee of the car's durability, even after 200,000 miles. These features ensured that the taxi created by the small Checker Motors Corporation became the most desired vehicle among NYC taxi drivers in the 1960s.
