I wonder how well it handles compared to a stock Prowler. The car looks right!! Foose is the man.

No one noticed the custom fabricated front control arms. They were fabricated to move the wheels forward to the front of the car. It also increases the wheel base. Who knows what it does for steering and handling.

This is an ebay auction for a toy Hemisfear, which was Chip Fooses project from ten years ago that, some say, inspired the Prowler. I Agree. This is the best picture I could find. Does anyone have a better one?

Pantera...........this is from a previous post and question about Chip Foose's "connection" with Prowler..........


quote:
Talked to Bob this morning. First, Bob has the highest respect for Chip Foose and believes he is absolutely the top hot rod designer and builder out there today. Bob actually assisted Chip with parts for the Marriott V-8 Prowler that Lingenfelter built. Larry Lord can verify that he had to personally repossess the pair of test control arms that were lent to him.

Chip clearly feels that the Prowler concept car resembles his drawings from college, as do many modern renditions of 1930-era Fords. The Prowler design was granted trademark status. Legally, Chip had nothing to do with the car. Chrysler is very protective of its intellectual properties and trademarks. If Chip had a legititmate claim, he would have challenged Chrysler's patent long before now.

This same issue surfaces periodically. People can say what they want and even what they believe without legitimate claim.

The story of the Prowler design is in the Prowler book called "Plymouth Prowler - Anatomy of A New American Roadster". The chapter called "Design - From Concept to Production" explains how Kevin Verduyn's design for a modern-day street rod served as the basis for the Plymouth Prowler. In a nutshell, Tom Tremont was the design chief for Chrysler Pacifica, which was a small operation of about 20 people and located in Carlsbad, CA. This group included Pacifica's design manager, Kevin Verduyn.

According to Verduyn, the idea for the Prowler originated during an "idea fair" held at Pacifica in May, 1990. In early November 1990, Chrysler's top brass from "back East" (including Tom Gale, design direct Neil Walling and Chrysler president Bob Lutz) were at Pacifica for another presentation. Lutz spied a small sketch from the idea fair that sparked his interest hanging on a wall in Verduyn's office. This drawing kicked off the model that ultimately led to the Prowler. The fifth-scale model came out almost like the sketch. Gale, whose interest in hot rods led him to design and build his own personal ground-up design conterminous with the Prowler, was "real enthusiastic" from day one" says Verduyn, "so much that the Prowler became his baby".

You can read the entire story and see the drawing with Verduyn's name on it in this book.
