{"product_id":"checker-motors-corporation-20oz-insulated-tumbler","title":"Checker Motors Corporation 20oz Insulated Tumbler","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChecker Motors Corporation built its reputation on purpose-designed taxis made for heavy fleet use. Founded in 1922, the company moved its manufacturing operations to Kalamazoo in 1923, where its durable cabs became an enduring sight on American streets. This insulated tumbler connects an everyday drink with the story of Checker and its familiar A-series vehicles. It is a considered pick for car enthusiasts, taxi-history collectors, and anyone drawn to the lasting character of American manufacturing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChecker Motors Corporation began in 1922 as the Checker Cab Manufacturing Company, formed by Morris Markin through the merger of Commonwealth Motors and Markin Automobile Body. First based in Chicago, the manufacturer moved to Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 1923, taking over factories formerly used by Dort Motor Car Company and Handley-Knight. Checker concentrated on purpose-built taxicabs, whose roomy interiors and durable construction suited heavy fleet use. Markin also acquired taxi operators, helping create a market for Checker cabs. In 1958, the company adopted the name Checker Motors Corporation. Its A-series taxis and related passenger cars remained in production until 1982, when vehicle manufacturing ended. Checker then focused on automotive subcontracting, supplying parts and stampings to companies including General Motors and Chrysler. After declining customer sales and other financial pressures, the Kalamazoo company filed for Chapter 11 protection on January 16, 2009. Its manufacturing business and equipment were sold to Canadian suppliers that June, and the company officially went out of business on January 14, 2010. Remaining bankruptcy-estate assets were acquired by Oak Point Partners in 2018.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"font-weight: 500; font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e20oz\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eHeight, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e6.77\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"3\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); word-break: break-word;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.83 - 3.39\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 20oz vacuum-insulated stainless steel body for long-lasting temperature control\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-wall construction resists rust, staining, and corrosion\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clear push-on lid with rubber gasket provides a secure, spill-resistant seal\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Dishwasher-safe materials for straightforward cleanup\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Full-color glossy wraparound finish with rounded corners for a sleek, durable look\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEU representative\u003c\/strong\u003e: HONSON VENTURES LIMITED, gpsr@honsonventures.com, 3, Gnaftis House flat 102, Limassol, Mesa Geitonia, 4003, CY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct information\u003c\/strong\u003e: Generic brand, two year warranty in the EU and Northern Ireland\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e: Clean in dishwasher or wash by hand with warm water and dish soap\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"20oz","offer_id":54825463742748,"sku":"24144939462551387782","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0955\/2517\/5580\/files\/1274174516969981191_2048.jpg?v=1793733950","url":"https:\/\/ghostcorpapparel.com\/products\/checker-motors-corporation-20oz-insulated-tumbler","provider":"Ghost Corp Apparel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
