Hello,
I'm new on this forum and I have a question.
My dad has a '43 Ford GPW. He made it look like a jeep that was in my village when we got liberated.
Now my question is: Does anyone know the meaning of the word: "TOOTS"?
Here are some pictures
I hope someone knows!

I believe "Toots" was a nick name for a young girl. There was a song "Toot Toot Tootsie Goodbye" Today it would be similar to calling a young girl"chick"

Cool story. Thanks for sharing!
If it was my Jeep, I would have hand-painted the markings just like the one in the photo.

Great story!
Toots is a slang term for "babe" or "sweetie" or "honey"
Great nick-name for a Jeep!
kind regards
Tim
