Chrysler unveils latest special edition Cruiser
ROYAL OAK, Mich. (AP) — The Chrysler Group of DaimlerChrysler on Tuesday unveiled the third in a series of specialized PT Cruisers that will be built in conjunction with the Woodward Dream Cruise, an annual Detroit-area celebration of classic cars.


The PT Dream Cruiser Series 3, a customized version of the distinctive-looking car, will go into production later this month.

The two-tone Dream Cruiser is midnight blue and light silver with blue-tinted glass and features a standard 220-horse power turbo engine.

Tuesday's introduction came days before the kickoff of the annual Woodward Dream Cruise, which ranks among the region's top attractions.

Drivers pilot classic automobiles along a 16-mile stretch from Ferndale to Pontiac, an event that attracts about 1.5 million people who spend an estimated $55 million, organizers say.

The Series 3 will sell for $28,810 — about $7,000 more than the standard model.

The automaker plans to make fewer that 2,000 of the Dream Cruiser, which will be at dealerships in mid-September.

Chrysler has sold more than 590,000 PT Cruisers worldwide since their introduction in 2000.
