The Checker Marathon was an automobile produced by the Checker Motors Company of Kalamazoo, Michigan between 1961 and 1982. Marathons were produced in both four-door sedan and four-door Station Wagon forms. The Marathon was introduced in 1961, taking the place of the Checker Supurba Custom and differed from the Superba by having better interior appointments. On the exterior, the Marathon had a full width eggcrate grille, differing from the Superba's narrower grille and inboard parking lights. With the exception of United States government mandated 5 mph bumpers and mechanical changes, the Marathon remained virtually unchanged during its nineteen year production run. The final Marathon was manufactured in 1982 when Checker exited the automobile manufacturing business. |
