1999 Plymouth Howler

The Plymouth Howler is a roadster concept car designed and built by Plymouth. It was first presented at the 1999 SEMA Show. It has been described as a redesigned Prowler with increased cargo space versus previous Prowler models and has a 4.7L V8 engine. The engine is mated to a five-speed manual transmission instead of the Prowler's four-speed automatic. This freed up some room in the undercarriage to enlarge the gas tank for the thirstier V8. The Howler also has a removable hardtop instead of the traditional ragtop of the Prowler. The top is manually removed and can be stored in a compartment behind the seats. Though most Prowler enthusiasts appreciated the prototype concept, the low sales volume of the Prowler and the ultimate demise of the Plymouth nameplate ensured that the Howler was never made into a production vehicle.
