Al........that was about $40,000 worth of graphics on the truck and trailer! It was the same on both sides of the trailer. The awning was about $15,000.

I also liked the original flush headlight design better. Anyone notice the rear bumper backup lights used clear lenses? Glad they changed the wheel appearance from that inside "ribbed" look to smooth,,,ick.

Gordon........as I mentioned above, the program was my responsibility and it was part of my job to provide pictures of the venues that I was able to attend. Otherwise, my driver/manager took photos. We collected them and put them in a photo book so that we could give them to our Chrysler clients. Sort of "this is what we are doing with the rig and the response you are getting for your money" presentation. When I took pictures, I had two sets made and I was able to keep some of the photos. I did not keep the negatives.......they belonged to the company and my guess is, when the program ended, they did not keep much of this stuff. All the brochures, etc. we handed out and the merchandise we sold at the rig was returned to Chrysler.

I just added some other photos to the scrapbook. They aren't great, as scanning photos are harder to make clear than from digital photos. One of the photos was of Fred Warren. For those of you who don't know who Fred is, he is a custom car builder who has won multiple AMBR awards (America's Most Beautiful Roadster) and a Ridler award. He owns many really great roadsters, including the Smoothster by Boyd and Shock Wave, which won the 1999 AMBR award. Fred is a good friend of ours and when he saw the photo I took of him in the Prowler he liked it so much that Bob and I had it enlarged and framed and we had it signed for him by Tom Gale. Last I heard, it hangs above his mantel at home!

PK........The autorama display was Chrysler's and since Bob was on the Prowler Team for a while, we helped work the shows. I did it for the fun of it and a chance to be with the Prowler!! lol! The Prowler roadshow was just one of the programs I managed for the motorsports company and, of course, the nearest and dearest to my heart!! I managed many other programs for them, usually four at a time along with my Office Manager responsibilities. Some of those were the NHRA Pontiac Racing roadshow, the NHRA Warren Johnson Show Car Program, the NASCAR Pontiac Racing roadshow, the GM Accessories roadshow program that went to Craftsman Truck Series races and I also handled the GM Contingency programs (Chevrolet and Pontiac) for all their racing venues and also the GM Performance Parts and ACDelco Contingency program for NHRA.

Yes........I was a very busy lady!!!

I'm glad everyone has enjoyed the photos.....it was fun to go back again!

Yeah, I'm with Prowler-Keith. I noticed the rear tires right away...

According to a publication, the rear tire size was 335/25-20.

Some of the things I like more about the concept that I wish made it into production:
1) silver/metal looking head rests
2) folding hard top
3) more stylish looking bumpers
4) wider rear tires
5) the placement of the exterior door handles
6) everything about the interior
7) the estimated 13.7 sec quarter mile times
