this is pretty interesting and rare car I think - probably a new category (stretched wagon) should be necessary :) I found this article about it:

I think one of these featured in Dog Day Afternoon.

Quick note, Checker Aerobuses actually came out of the factory this long (rather than being sent to a coachworks company for stretching).

Rounded sidemarkers,so 1974 or 1975(by that model-year onwards Aerobuses don't got none aestethical modification--got only new,cathalized engines by Chevrolet and later also diesel option,the same of 1978 Oldsmobile Ninety-Eight--until production end--normal sized Marathons were built until 1982--when Checker claims closure of Kalamazoo,Indiana,plants--,Aerobuses seems were ceased some years before)

PS But if that model was listed into Checker cars range,was built only on special customer's order

These Checker Aerobus or "airport limousine" models were very common at our airport, which was at that time named Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. Most were beige in color, a few were mint green.

No. That was an International Harvester.

This scene was based on Abagnale's claims that he ran a fake stewardess school while he posed as a pilot.
