My friend John Weinhoft has the original build sheet for the "two" Checkers Big 
Jim ordered for replacements of the governor's Cadillac limos.  They were navy 
blue A12E Checkers which were 9 inches longer than the standard A12, all in the 
back seat area.  One of them was kept in Chicago and the other was kept in 
Springfield.  Both cars were transfered to the Dept. of Corrections to 
transport prisoners after Big Jim left office.
We have been trying to track them down but it appears they went to a junk yard 
and at least one of them was crushed.

            While this Checker wasn't part of the railroad operation, back when 
Big Jim  

Thompson was Governor of Illinois, he had a black Checker that was used as his 

 "official" Limousine. Imagine a black Checker with a "padded" vinyl roof and 

 fender skirts....
