The Checker Model A was introduced mid-model year in 1939, and was built until 1941, when Checker switched over to wartime manufacturing, as did the rest of the auto industry. The Model A was offered in a new landaulet version that included an electric disappearing top, and early sun roof. In addition, the new model came equipped with an automatic signal to warn pedestrians that the car was being reversed.
