She
was born on Halloween, 2000
VIN # 3C8FY4BB51T545042 was assembled in
Toluca, Mexico. It came off of the assembly
line on October 30, 2000. She was loaded on
a Union Pacific Railcar (#TTGX985449) in the
evening of October 30, 2000. We tracked the
car from Laredo, Texas to Benicia,
California. Along the way, the train made
too many stops for us, but it slowly but surely
worked its way to Benicia.
We received the following
information from the Union Pacific Website:

The rail car number was given
to us by Chrysler Customer Service (
1-800-992-1997)

the ground in Benicia, CA |
The
car was transported to Swift Chrysler, Davis CA on
Tuesday, November 14, 2000. We received the
call from Jeff Poteet around 5:30 to set the
appointment to pick up our PT CRUISER. The
appointment was set for Wednesday, November 15,
2000 at 7:00 p.m.
Michelle, Clyde, and friends, David and JoAnne,
spent most of Sunday, November 12th, searching out
the rail car that our car was on. We climbed
through fences, walked down hills, fought barbed
wire, all with one eye out for the security
officers.
We finally made it to THE TRAIN
and got some good pictures of the railcar and the
cars on the train. We watched as the workers
set-up the ramps between the rail cars that would
accommodate the PT's unloading. We saw 48 PT
CRUISERS all set to be off-loaded and sent to
expectant owners throughout Northern California.
