The **Chrysler Pronto Cruizer** is a 1999 [concept car](/source/Concept_car) manufactured by [Chrysler](/source/Chrysler) and made its debut at the 1999 [Geneva Motor Show](/source/Geneva_Motor_Show). Designed by [Bryan Nesbitt](/source/Bryan_Nesbitt),[1] the car's design was ultimately evolved into the [Chrysler PT Cruiser](/source/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser).

## Overview

The Pronto Cruizer debuted at the 1999 [Geneva Auto Show](/source/Geneva_Auto_Show) as a possible [Plymouth](/source/Plymouth_(automobile)) model—as with other "Pronto" concepts, the 1997 [Plymouth Pronto](/source/Plymouth_Pronto) and 1998 [Plymouth Pronto Spyder](/source/Plymouth_Pronto_Spyder). The Pronto Cruizer became a Chrysler due to the planned discontinuation of the Plymouth marque.

The vehicle carries a 1.6 L [I4](/source/Straight-4) engine with a five-speed [manual transmission](/source/Manual_transmission) borrowed from the second generation [Dodge/Plymouth Neon](/source/Dodge_Neon). The design was also derived from the Neon, but with elements borrowed from another [DaimlerChrysler](/source/DaimlerChrysler) concept car, the Plymouth Pronto. The Pronto Cruizer has a [grille](/source/Grille_(car)) and [fenders](/source/Fender_(vehicle)) that similar the one used on the [Plymouth Prowler](/source/Plymouth_Prowler). A roll-back fabric top was used on the Pronto Cruizer as well.

## Diecast scale models

The Pronto Cruizer was recreated as a scale model by [Maisto](/source/Maisto), reproduced first as a [1:18 scale](/source/1%3A18_scale) model with an Aztec Yellow paint job. Later, a [1:64 scale](/source/1%3A64_scale) model of the Pronto Cruizer was released in Aztec Yellow along with two [Marvel](/source/Marvel_Comics) superhero-themed liveries of [The Incredible Hulk](/source/The_Incredible_Hulk) and [Spider-Man](/source/Spider-Man).

[Hot Wheels](/source/Hot_Wheels) released a 1/64 scale version of the car and just simply named as "Chrysler Pronto".
