The strange looking rear roof was called the ''Landaulet". It could be opened by the driver from his front seat by a lever-wire device. I did read there is only one of these models left in existence.
The strange front fenders were made that way to prevent accident damage. The car itself was very long lasting...500,000 miles or more was just getting started with these vehicles. A private person could buy the Checker but it was rare.
