The Plymouth Prowler, "a salute to hot rodding," developed out of a 1993 partnership between Alcoa and Chrysler (now DaimlerChrysler) to investigate new materials and manufacturing processes for automobiles. The 900 pounds of aluminum in each Prowler make it the most aluminum-intensive American car. It has a fully boxed, all-aluminum frame that is rigid yet lightweight—as one car critic put it, "this car is all about having fun." Chrysler Corporation, now DaimlerChrysler Corporation
