"BTM" is the abbreviation for "Body Type Model" used by DMV's and police departments across the country for the purpose of uniform reporting of accidents and stolen vehicles. There is a code that accompanies the BTM designation, like "CP" (Coupe), "SD" (Sedan), "RD" (Roadster) etc. An ignorant reporter probably saw "YR: 67 MAKE: FIAT BTM: CP" on a police report and thought that it was a model designation. Now it's all over the Inter-Web. There is no such car as a Fiat BTM.
