I was searching through some old shots in Ellicott City and ran across this car shot of a Plymouth Prowler. I almost just trashed it, but I continued to look at it. One it’s a convertible which always interests me. Second the throwback styling also caught my eye. The colors they put on this were also very stunning.

But I never investigated one as a car I’d like to own even though they do attract me. So, this morning I saw why this vehicle failed to catch on. A weak motor and only an automatic transmission. The execs at Plymouth should have had their butts canned for those two decisions alone.

You don’t build a car that looks like that, put some meaty tires in the back and have it be a SLUG. It’s 0-60 is 7.1 seconds. My stock 2016 Miata does it in 5.9. And in the quarter mile I read its 15.3 to the Miata 14.5 seconds.

It should be illegal to build something that looks that good but can’t do a burnout. Sorry, I never knew before why it didn’t have more appeal till, I did some reading today.

This one below is a beauty, and I love his plate “SURREAL” and it’s a rag top with an older couple like we are cruising on a beautiful summer day so I won’t end with negative vibes, but on a positive thought. I wonder if a Hellcat Hemi fits in there.
