...While it is widely believed the Plymouth name represented the Pilgrims and Plymouth Rock(that was even Chryslers official line)years later it was told that the name was from "Plymouth Binding Twine".....a very common name to farmers, Walter P. wanted to attract the farmers away from Ford, and decided "Plymouth" was the name to go with.....the Plymouth dealers were sent Pilgrim dress to wear at the dealerships and the Mayflower was on the car, but it was named after a brand of twine.....

This was the official line in 1928, but not the whole story....

Ed did you notice with the Prowlers heritage it can be both a Chrysler and a Plymouth.

I got the Plymouth rear bumpers yesterday. Sandy asked what was in the package. When I told her, her reaction was, "Oh, I didn't know you already bought them." She was for sticking with the Chrysler plain bumper.
Actually the couch is pretty comfortable. lol
Thanks for the input Dave and Rich.
