Mike...If my Black Tie made the back pages of Hot Rod, I would think that magazine would be ALL OVER your "World's Fastest Prowler"! Why keep it a secret? I bet if you contacted them you could have a center spread in the magazine.

BTW: Every time I watch "Car Crazy" with Dennis Gage, I could see him doing a feature on your museum too. That would be so cool to see a feature on you and your collection in any media! Have you ever contacted anyone to feature your collection? I bet some magazines/ shows would line up to feature your cars!

I couldn't agree more. I think it would be a slam dunk. What an awesome article that would be for all readers. Good luck Mike.

Mike may be too modest to toot his own horn, but who's to say we can't do it for him?

Mike - Would you be offended if members promoted you love for Prowlers to notable publications & shows?

Based on other prowler owners personal contact with the gentleman, it appears that Dennis Gage is NOT a prowler fan. I reckon he just doesn't get it. What a shame.

I am really disappointed no one brought up my PT. It was the fastest one at Cruisin the Coast in 2002. Maybe I should contact a magazine! Mad Magazine comes to mind.

Ed - when you owned the rusted out Intrepid, with three different colored doors and one front fender mismatched,,,,,,I nominated it to Motor Trend magazine for publication. I got a return reply,,,,,saying I must have meant to send it to the Toilet Bowl magazine instead. I tried.

Randy, It would be great to promote the worlds fastest Prowler in any magazine, and I would appreciate any help that you or any one else could provide!

I'm currently working on another car to beat my own record at the Texas Stampede Drags... Oop's almost let the Cat out of the bag! LOL

It's cool that there is some interest in actually doing this!

I got my car in by just sending pics and a description.

Home page: http://www.hotrod.com/

CONTACT PAGE! http://www.hotrod.com/113_0000_contact/

Editor's email addy: mailto: douglas.glad@primedia.com

The rest IS a slam dunk with your awesome stable of cars, Mike!

I learned a long time ago as a freelance artist...Noone knows you're out there until you jump up and shout..."Here I am!" The humble and shy NEVER get recognized.

I say go for it...they would be ALL OVER the "World's Fastest Prowler!"

BT -
Thanks for the contact at Hot Rod.
This a an email message I sent to the Editor:

Editor:

I have a 2002 Prowler and am an active member of the Prowler Owners Association.

One of our members, Mike Krehel, has a museum of cars in Houston which contains 17 prowlers of various years, colors and modifications. He owns the last Prowler ever made, which auctioned for over $100,000 and he also owns the World’s Quickest Prowler.

Many of our members and I think Mike’s collection and his love of cars (Prowlers in particular) would be a great story for your magazine.

If you agree, you can contact Mike at mike@prowleronline.com or me at 336.378.0400 x43 or rcobb@abercrombieoil.com.

I thank you in advance for your consideration,

Randy Cobb

Mike - Hopefully you or I will hear something back from them.

If anyone else has a contact at a publication, please forward the info. to them or give me the address and I will.

Thanks

Randy,well done!
There probably would be other car magazines out there interested in perhaps covering one of the National Prowler events,it's just a matter of contacting them and bringing the awareness.
We've put the word out to our local newspapers and TV stations regarding Canada event(keeping our fingers crossed to get some coverage)!

This is an excellent idea for many reasons: generally the readers, editors and owners all win. It helps us by perpetuating the interest in our cars. This may translate into numerous benefits for us; more aftermarket parts, DC parts, and of course keeping our values up. Any publicity we can get, get it! We have an extremely unique car and a fine following. Share the enthusiasm
