The car lays low to the ground and the A-arms make the car look like it is looking for a prey. Here is the "Prowler" meaning from the dictionary. prowl P Pronunciation Key (proul) v. prowled, prowl·ing, prowls v. tr. To roam through stealthily, as in search of prey or plunder: prowled the alleys of the city after dark. v. intr. To rove furtively or with predatory intent: cats prowling through the neighborhood. n. The act or an instance of prowling. ------------------ Watch Me Burn Some Rubber Official POA banner Designer .. Need A Banner? Get The Details Check out Prowlerexcitement.com

ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-08-2004 08:17 PM Quote from above: "Prowled the alleys of the city after dark." That is where I got my screen name from,,,,as my father would say when seeing cats in the alley, "Son, those alley cats are Prowlers" So I always remembered that Prowlers were actually Alley Cats!
CJ Prowler Junkie Posts: 18860 From: Rochester Hills, MI USA Registered: JUL 2000	posted 01-08-2004 08:25 PM I'll see if I can find out from the powers that be from the original Prowler team.
Chromer Prowler Junkie Posts: 2723 From: Denver, Colorado, USA Registered: DEC 2000	posted 01-08-2004 08:42 PM Pumpkin, Probably the most inclusive question asked about the car? "Prowler" is a cool name..but...I've wondered often how the name was selected myself? CJ....Thanks for offering to look into the the reason (hope there was a reason?) the car was named the name it has....?? JWD and Chromer.

GenoTex Prowler Junkie Posts: 8492 From: Oakfield, WI, USA Registered: MAR 2002	posted 01-09-2004 06:52 AM From: The Prowler story on the main page.... November 1991 Pacifica's Tremont begins referring to the retro rod as "Prowler." Maybe that's the guy that should be asked!
Randy Cobb Prowler Junkie Posts: 4070 From: Greensboro, NC Registered: JUL 2002	posted 01-09-2004 07:54 AM After a 5 year run the arena football team in Greensboro is closing shop. Their name - the PROWLERS! 5 year run, Prowlers; sound familiar? ------------------
Black Tie 161 Prowler Junkie Posts: 3563 From: MD, USA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 01-09-2004 08:09 AM Interesting subject. We should be thankful they came up with a cool name for our car! A lot of car comapanies use computers to calculate trendy names that are just wierd...or names that hint at quality (Integra/ integrity, Acura/ accurate, etc.) Or what's worse...GM using classic nameplates for boring cars...The new GTO should LOOK like one!

SirReal Prowler Junkie Posts: 3332 From: Burtonsville,Md Good ole U.S.A Registered: MAR 2003	posted 01-09-2004 04:13 PM Prior to my Prowler purchase I searched the net for anything that I could find on this incredible car. I printed everything I could find. I just looked back through those printouts and found a Prowler Time Line that I believe came from Carnuts.com. The following is an excerpt from it. 1991* November*Pacifica's Tremont begins referring to the retro rod as "Prowler" possibly influenced by seeing a plaque on a rod affiliated with one of the oldest car clubs exant, the "Prowlers from nearby San Diego. We'd like to think so anyway. ** I don't have the authors name nor do I know it to be fact. Just sharing what I've read along my Prowler way. Jeff
