Plymouth Prowler

An open, Indy-racer-style front modeled after a 1932 Ford Roadster gave the Prowler its distinctively retro look when it debuted in the late 1990s. But the hot-rodder demographic wasn't impressed by its engine, which was considered too small and too quiet. "It didn't have bark or bite, it just had the looks," Hagerty says. In the five years it was on the market — first as the Plymouth Prowler and then as the Chrysler Prowler — it lured fewer than 12,000 buyers.




Collector prognosis: Communities of Prowler lovers have already begun congregating online, launching several enthusiast Web sites since production ended in 2001.
