Over the weekend our Checker station wagon has arrived in Arizona from Massachusetts. A friend is going to spend the next few months going over the car mechanically to try and give us the best chance of completing Route 66 in it. The car is a 1968 model, which makes it 50 years old. He will try and go through the car in the evenings and at weekends as time allows. He has a few Checkers himself so has a good knowledge of these cars, in fact the white limo Checker you can see on the car transporter is yet another one that our friend has bought!
We have acquired one of the later model disc brake set-ups from another Checker which is sadly beyond saving which we will use to replace the current drum set-up on our ’68 Wagon.
As before, we will share progress and information as this car over the next few months.
