1959 Checker Taxicab Parts
Before ordering anything for a 1959 Checker Taxicab, confirm the engine: our records list 2 variants (3.7L 226cid L6, 5.2L 318cid V8), and many of the 404 parts fit only one of them. The engine code is on the emissions label under the hood if you're not sure — then pick a category below and filter to your engine.
Parts include OEM and aftermarket brands with full part numbers and application notes — position, trim and market qualifiers — so what you order matches what the factory catalog actually specifies for this vehicle.
