Today I discuss "Street Fight," the captivating new book by Anne Morrissy that uncovers the little-known history of the Chicago Taxi Wars. While Anne was unable to join due to illness, I take the opportunity to shine a spotlight on this fascinating work and share insights with you.

In this episode I explore the history of the Checker Motors Company that existed in Kalamazoo. The company manufactured the iconic Checker Cabs used in cities all over the USA, and often seen as a backdrop to any classic film in New York City. The last Checker Cab rolled off the assembly line on July 12th, 1982 and today resides in the Gilmore Car Museum in Hickory Corners, Michigan.

Yellow Checker Cab heard the challenge and put their money where their mouth is! Another giant Toy Drive TRIFECTA! $615, 25 bikes & helmets, and 209 toys! It's so awesome seeing you guys every year. Thank you for all that you do for this community!

Normally, we would highlight one of this show's more unusual calls -say, Rod who wants to buy an old Checker Cab, or Berniece who's Oldsmobile sounds like an air raid siren. But somehow we knew that we would catch your eye with the title of this week's puzzler: Buck Naked! All will be revealed on this episode of the Best of Car Talk.

    Similar to the black cabs of London, yellow checker cabs used to be the standard for both New York and Chicago.  Today you won't find any Checker cabs from CMC, but with a rise in retro inspired electric vehicles today, could they return.  This is what AutoLooks takes a look at, as we travel along with the original Checker Cab from its beginnings, to what could be its future.   Everett J. #autolooks
