Who?
Dunno - but they're called Checkers (spulling is sus there) and believe
it or no they are 'based on' the Humber Super Snipe series 5, or 4 - it's
a bit hazy in RAM at the moment.
I'm guessing they were originally used Chrysler power/drive train, given
what they are - but IIRC the later machines use Small-blocks and other GM
****e for running gear.
Solid as... they have to be.
I'd be *very* interested in what they use in the braking department.
