Checker Marathon

Checker Marathon

The Checker Marathon was one of the Checker Motors Corporation of Kalamazoo produced (Michigan) 1963-1982 cars.

From Marathon, there was a four-door sedan, a five-door estate and the rare, six - or achttürigen Aerobus.

The marathon was introduced in 1963, replacing the model Superba Custom. The marathon had a better interior than the Superba. In addition, he had a honeycomb grille over the entire width of the vehicle, instead of the narrower grille of Superba with its side-mounted sidelights.

With the exception of the conversion to the prescribed by the U.S. government bumper, had to 5 mph (8 km / h) through collision speed undamaged, the marathon remained unchanged in its 19 -year production period. The last marathon was in 1982 and so adopted Checker from the automotive manufacturing. Today, in one part of the plant parts for Cadillac models are produced.
