December 31st, 1969 The Woodward Dream Cruise, Detroit's annual rolling car show, has spawned a fifth special edition of the PT Dream Cruiser. The fourteenth special edition of the PT Cruiser, the PT Dream Cruiser Series 5 is a purely cosmetic tweak of the standard vehicle, with production limited to 1,750 units for the U.S. The essential design scheme of the Dream Cruiser centers around a coat of white pearl paint topped with a black pearl roof. Chrome accents and badges along with a billet grille and 17in SRT-design alloy wheels finish off the 'factory custom' look. Inside, the black pearl color scheme continues and is complemented with a pastel gray color fabric and more chrome accents. The steering wheel is leather-wrapped and the door sill plates bear a mark that signifies the Dream Cruiser's special status. The rest of the car's features mirror that of the standard PT Cruiser. Over 1.3 million PT Cruisers have been sold since their debut in 2001, according to Chrysler, and even the new Dream Cruiser commands only a modest $22,700 price, almost certainly ensuring the limited-edition model will be quickly snatched up by collectors. However, with fourteen other 'special editions', four of which were the preceding Dream Cruiser series cars, and a multitude of standard cars on the streets, the PT Cruiser may be stretching the outer limits of collectibility.Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 5

    Chrysler needs to put this dead horse down! There are so many different choices out there at lower or same price points that I would much rather own. This was a very nice car when first released but needs a total redesign...

    Well trollers, time for a business lesson, the point of a company like Chrysler is to make money, not make the minority people like you happy. If this sells, then Chrysler will make money to help bolster their business. End of lesson.

    How many times can you polish the same turd? Everyone has their own taste in cars but come on!
