    Very cool! I've always liked those Checkers. Big, safe, simplicity. They're a man's man's kinda car.

    Welcome CheckerGuy. I was the general sales manager at Focaro Ford and then when it became Island Ford on Richmond Ave in Staten Island back in the 80's 90's. We didn't sell Checkers, though!
    As it happens, there's a pretty detailed discussion on replacing the woodgrain under another posting. Just click on this link:
