Plymouth Prowler: The Retro Hot Rod
The Prowler was a bold, factory-built hot rod, a striking retro roadster that brought 1930s hot-rod style to the modern era.
Produced from 1997 to 2002, the Prowler was one of the most daring production cars ever, a factory-built hot rod with open front wheels, a long pointed nose, and dramatic retro styling inspired by classic American hot rods. Nothing else on the market looked like it.
Built largely from aluminum, the Prowler was powered by a V6 rather than the V8 enthusiasts craved, which drew some criticism, but its styling and uniqueness made it a head-turning statement piece. It was offered with a matching trailer.
The Prowler is a bold, distinctive collectible, remembered as a brave production hot rod that prioritized style and individuality above all.
