Default What's In A Name??
I need some help ASAP - someone from another country has asked me what the "PT" stands for and for the life of me I cannot remember. Would someone be so kind as to revive this answer for me??

My pleasure Kat. Since I generally suffer from short term memory loss, I am always extremely pleased with myself when it lasts long enough to actually help somebody.

Bully, I'm glad that PT doesn't mean "something-or-other tease" to you.

LOL - not sure if I'm the new or the old Kat. I suspect the "new" - I haven't been on for a long time due to health problems.


Thanks to everyone who responded so quickly - although I suspect that a few were pulling my leg -

Actually I read recently that the "PT" was meant to represent "Plymouth Truck" since the PT was to be in the Plymouth lineup (but since that line was killed) it went to the Chrysler brand.

Anybody else hear this?
