1982 Checker A11 Winkoff review from North America
"A classic cool ride"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seat belts wore out.
The car almost rusted away when I wasn't looking.
General comments?
I love this car. It is under powered, slow on take off, and corners like an elephant. It is basically ugly, and gets poor gas mileage.
However, it seats eight people when the jump seats are used, and rides like a brick on glass (smooth). Best of all - it is a Checker!
