In 1952 Olympic games were to be held in Helsinki so things had to change. As a quick fix it was decided to import 500 used Checker cabs from Chicago so that the city streets would look more modern. This was a terrible failure. The cabs which we received were bought too cheap and were well worn out because of the harsh climate of Chicago. Only one of the cabs was brand new. The cabs disappeared quickly from the streets and the Checker name got very bad reputation in Finland for many years. Of the 500 cars bought only one remains now in usable condition and several others in unrestored condition can be found throughout country.

I own the only known 1950 A4 in North America. If I can find parts they are typically from the Chicago fleet in Finland. Pretty funny that I have to source parts for an American car in Filand!
