Plymouth was a brand that made up part of the Chrysler corporation for more than 70 years. Over the decades its role shifted several times, and in its final years it served mostly as a purveyor of badge-engineered clones of other Chrysler products. In general, Plymouth vehicles were offered with a lower standard of equipment and at less expensive prices than Dodge or Chrysler editions of the same car. Of course, there were a few exceptions that helped Plymouth maintain a reasonably high profile in the public eye. Although Plymouth stopped doing business in 2001, there are several used models which have continued to catch the attention of those shopping for used cars. The most notable used Plymouth remains the Plymouth Prowler, a modern recreation of the famous early 1930s hot rods that cruised up and down American boulevards in the 1950s. It’s outrageous looks served as one of the most recognizable halo cars in the industry. The Neon was part of both the Plymouth and Dodge brands until 2001, and although the PT Cruiser was also initially intended to be a Plymouth-only model, it didn’t arrive in time to bear the sail badge.Popular Used Plymouth Cars Plymouth may be distant memory, but its used cars still soldier on; below, we’ll take a quick look at three of the most popular used Plymouth vehicles.
