1993: "The Plymouth Prowler concept car took the traditional definition of a "hot rod", refined it for a '90s culture and demonstrated Chrysler's ability to define trends before they reach the surface.
It is Currently a production vehicle of 2001.
Prowler utilizes numerous components from other Chrysler platforms. It's
extensive use of aluminum makes it a rolling test bed for possible future
vehicles."
2000: Introduced at the North American International Auto Show, this new interpretation of the PT Cruiser demonstrates functionality as well as unique styling, reflective of Chrysler heritage. "We set out to design a more cargovan-like vehicle based on the PT Cruiser, utilizing its abundant interior space while maintaining its clean, contemporary lines and youthful appearance," said Kenneth Carlson, Design Manager at DaimlerChrysler. "By replacing the rear doors and windows with panels and the rear seats with a wood floor, we've created a versatile rear cargo space that could be used as a light delivery truck or an individual lifestyle vehicle...the possibilities are endless."
At 168.8 inches (4288.5mm), the overall exterior length of the Chrysler Panel Cruiser Concept is equal to the size of a small car, providing nimble city handling and easy parking, yet its interior volume of 119.8 cubic feet (3.39 cu. meters) rivals that of a full-size sedan. The rear interior space features a full wood floor with bright skid strips and wood bars along the side quarter panels with cargo straps providing a multi-use cargo area.
"We designed the interior to emphasize the volume available in the PT Cruiser," said Jeff Godshall, Senior Design Manager at DaimlerChrysler. "By creating a simple rear cargo space with features similar to those found in moving vans, such as wood floors and cargo straps, we invite a multitude of imaginative uses by the owner.
The exterior is also a variation of the PT Cruiser;
almost identical to the GT Cruiser show car. For example, the Panel Cruiser
has been lowered by one inch, while widening the track by two inches, giving
it an athletic stance. Removing the badges from the hood and deck and integrating
the bumpers in the facias give the vehicle a clean front and rear appearance.
1989: "The Viper RT/10 concept car was
conceived as an adventurous, no-holds-barred high performance roadster.
Viper RT/10 featured a V-10 engine, unique organic appearance body shell
with full-width sport bar and no-nonsense, driver-oriented interior. Due
to the car's overwhelming appeal to the media and public, the Viper became
a production vehicle in 1992."
