For Sale: 1967 Checker Aerobus in Kentwood, Michigan

Checker Motors of Kalamazoo, Michigan, is best known for building the iconic taxi cabs that filled city streets for decades, and the Aerobus took that tough, no nonsense design and stretched it into a limousine style shuttle meant to carry travelers to and from the airport. This 1967 example is a rare survivor that still wears its airport shuttle identity proudly, from the magnets to the roof sign.

Finished in bold red, this Aerobus has an unmistakable presence, with its long, stretched body that looks like nothing else on the road. Airport magnets on the doors and a roof mounted airport cab sign complete the look, so it appears ready to pick up passengers at the terminal. It's a great conversation starter at shows, events, and parades, and few vehicles on the street draw as many double takes.

Power comes from the 327ci V8, paired with a 3 speed automatic transmission. Checker was known for building simple, durable vehicles meant to work hard, and this drivetrain reflects that mission, offering smooth, dependable power for hauling a full load of passengers and luggage. It's an easygoing combination that suits a vehicle built for comfort and longevity.

Inside, grey vinyl seats give the roomy cabin a clean, upscale look, with plenty of space for the whole group. A Sony radio keeps the music playing on the road, and a compass on the dash adds a fun, vintage touch that fits the car's travel themed character. The original owner's manual is included, a nice bonus that adds to the car's documentation and history.

This Aerobus is a one of a kind piece of transportation history, combining a rare shuttle body, a Chevrolet V8, and genuine airport character that's hard to find anywhere else. This Checker is solid, original running and driving example. As such, there may be a few needs that go unnoticed by our staff. It is priced as such and is being sold AS IS. A little effort will go a long way on this unique piece of Americana.
