The Plymouth Prowler was a "retro"-styled production car, with the body produced in Shadyside, Ohio, USA. It featured a powertrain lifted from Chrysler's LH-cars, with a 253 hp 3.5 L SOHC V6 engine occupying the usual underhood area, but with the 4-speed automatic transmission relocated to the rear; the two were joined by a flexible driveshaft which rotated at engine speed.
The car featured much aluminum in the chassis. In many cases, the components were adhesive bonded. One of the most striking features of the car was the open, Indy-racer-style front wheels.
The design of the Prowler was said to have been done by Chrysler engineers after they were given free reign over whatever they wanted in a "hot rod" or "sportster" type car.
The Prowler was first introduced as a 1997 model, offered only in purple the first year. After the Plymouth marque was discontinued in 2001, the Prowler was sold as a Chrysler until 2002. The model was replaced by the Chrysler Crossfire for 2004.[ Visit the complete Wikipedia entry for Plymouth Prowler ]
