PDQ was the second generation of the PowerBook G3 Series, also known as
"Wallstreet II".

No, they don't. However, PowerBook 1400's had CPUs on removable daughter
cards. They were among the first PowerBooks that were G3-upgradeable (along
with the PowerBook 2400).
The 500 series PowerBooks also had upgradeable (daughter card) CPUs, and
were upgradeable from their original 25/33 MHz 68LC040's to 100 MHz
PPC603e's.
Oldest PowerBook I have with a removable CPU card is my PowerBook 100 (16
MHz 68HC000), but I have never seen a CPU upgrade for it.
