1999 Chrysler Pronto Cruize Concept Vehicle

The Chrysler Pronto Cruizer was a concept car designed by Bryan Nesbitt for Chrysler, then DaimlerChrysler a design that ultimately evolved into the Chrysler PT Cruiser. The Pronto Cruizer debuted at the 1999 Geneva Auto Show as a possible Plymouth model as with other Pronto concepts, the 1997 Plymouth Pronto and 1998 Plymouth Pronto Spyder). The Pronto Cruizer became a Chrysler due to the planned discontinuation of the Plymouth marque. The vehicle carried a 1. 6 L I4 engine with a fivespeed manual transmission borrowed from the second generation Dodge, Plymouth Neon. The design was also derived from the Neon, but with elements borrowed from another DaimlerChrysler concept car, the Plymouth Pronto. The Pronto Cruizer had a grille and fenders that rivaled the one used on the unique Plymouth Prowler. A rollback fabric top was used on the Pronto Cruizer as well. Source: S187
