A closer look at the ’74 Checker Taxi Cab
A yellow Checker brings a different kind of character to a diecast shelf. The upright body, roof sign, and black-and-white checks make it recognizable from across the room. Get closer and the Sunshine Cab door graphics give you a reason to keep looking.

Choosing one for your collection
Start with the small door printing when comparing loose examples. A scuff through the fare panel or cab emblem can take away much of the model's character. Check the roof sign and the corners of the front fenders for chipped paint as well.
A photograph of the opposite side is especially useful on this taxi because the decoration is part of its identity. For a packaged car, look through the blister at the roof sign and the top of the cabin; glare can conceal damage in those areas.
Collector questions
Is the checker strip enough to identify CFR35?
It is one useful detail, but use the complete combination: yellow ’74 Checker body, Sunshine Cab markings, Taxi packaging, and the CFR35 toy code.
