Re: MORE ON MOPar

[mr-320@xxxx]

 ive been told that the term comes from a string of parts stores
[like checker or pep boys of today] only they were selling all makes of
parts under the factory backed mopar brand name. along about the late
40's to early 50's a sherman antitrust action shut them down, due to the
factory backing, chrysler only salvaged the mopar name on its own parts
after that. this could be wrong as ive no verification for the story,
cant even remember who told me.
