Checker Cab in Germany!

Checker Cab in Germany! (http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/off-topic/41844-checker-cab-germany.html)


Not in use, but as a decoration in a Burger King of all places in Stuttgart just down the block from the Marriott we stayed at.

It was early morning and the sun was casting wacky shadows inside Burger King but here's the one shot I took that came out...

Most the taxis in use were Mercedes-Benz and I have a few pictures of those here,

It was cool seeing such a behemoth of a car on display that for decades was the norm when it comes to taxi cabs.

Definitely stylish in this day and age...

My first boss at Meguiar's had a Checker Airport Car, which is basically a stretched Checker cab with about 4 doors down each side...

I have a picture of it somewhere...

I thought a Checker Cab in Germany would be a Mercedes Benz
