MSs bullet-silver (Chrysler) Plymouth Pronto Spyder sports coupe convertible on turntable; unusual, funky, rounded, comic book-like experimental design, apparently made from recycled materials (polyethylene terephthalate or PET, essentially a thermoplastic body replacing steel altogether); exotic concept vehicle; tres cool car.

MS/CUs silver Chrysler Chronos luxury sedan concept car on rotating turntable; peculiar prototypical design, long & sleek & low with enormously large & long engine & trunk areas, looking quite comic book-like, going so far as to resemble the current cinematic version of the Batmobile in some respects; futuristic, experimental; odd, yet vaguely sexy in its mysteriousness. Large proportioned (read, big) car with oversized silver chrome grille resembling the metallic maw of death itself. Attractive conversation piece, interesting craftsmanship.

MS/CUs shiny, bright yellow (Chrysler) Plymouth Prowler sports coupe convertible roadster on rotating turntable; designed like a cross between a low-rider and a classic American hot rod, with the aging white male ego-- and wallet-- certainly in mind; very cool, quite unusual; gotta give props to Chrysler for seriously messing with the all-too mundane industrial design of contemporary automobiles; the front end along makes the vehicle so attrractive.
