One of the oldest Hot Rod clubs in America, the San Diego Prowlers

http://www.prowlers.org/

Founded in 1947, they are strictly pre 48 hot rods, and even inspired the Chrysler designers to name the Plymouth Prowler.

After some of the club members were met by the design team in order to get some inspiration, one of the club members loaned them his 32 roadster for a week or so for them to analyze for styling que's and some inspiration.

Now you know the rest of the story.... as Paul says.

This year makes the 60th anniversary for the Prowlers club, a remarkable distinction.

My applause to them one and all!
