Check back on 8/20/05. That is the date of the Woodland Avenue Dream Cruise. This is where Chrysler has shown all of the past Dreamers.

Just announced.
Tuesday, 16 August 2005
 06 Street Cruiser Rt 66Chrysler kicked off Detroit's annual Woodward Dream Cruise today, introducing the all-new 2006 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition dedicated to "The Mother Road" on another famous road, Detroit's Woodward Avenue. Announced in conjunction with the famed Woodward Dream Cruise, the Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition will be available later this summer as a limited-production version of the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser.
The U.S. Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) for the 2006 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition will be $19,185 for the manual transaxle version and $20,020 for the automatic transaxle model. Both prices exclude a $640 destination charge.
"Like the historic highway it's named after, the new 2006 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition celebrates the journey, as well as the destination," said Jeff Bell, Vice President—Chrysler. "With its proud heritage styling, colorful exterior and fun-to-drive character, Chrysler PT Street Cruiser captures the adventurous essence of Route 66," Bell added. "It's Route 66 personified."
Aglow in an exclusive Solar Yellow paint, this limited-production vehicle features Solar Yellow brake calipers, body-color grille, solar-tinted sunscreen glass, liftgate mounted spoiler, 17-inch all-season performance tires, four-wheel anti-lock brakes with low-speed traction control, speed control and a sport suspension. Brightwork accents include chrome body-side moldings, a chrome exhaust tip and 17-inch, chrome-plated, five-spoke Empire aluminum wheels. A unique "Street Cruiser" badge, complete with Solar Yellow accents, is featured on the liftgate and complemented by "Route 66" Edition badges on the front doors.
The 2006 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition's striking color also shines from the interior. A Solar Yellow cluster bezel and passenger air bag door with a PT Cruiser graphic accents the instrument panel. Pastel Slate Gray premium cloth sport seats with Alias/Albi trim include a six-way power driver seat feature and driver manual lumbar adjuster. The Pastel Slate Gray door trim features Medium Slate vinyl bolsters. The Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition also has a leather-wrapped steering wheel with Satin Silver spokes. The Street Cruiser's standard AM/FM radio with six-disc CD player has MP3 play capability, as well as an audio-input jack that can be used to connect portable MP3 players or other auxiliary audio devices.
The Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition has front-seat-mounted side air bags. It also includes many of the standard safety features found on the 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser, including an enhanced accident response system, new advanced driver and front-passenger multi-stage front air bags with an Occupant Classification system, a driver-side inflatable knee blocker, theft alarm, Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) child-seat anchor system, brake/park interlock, lap and shoulder seat belts in all positions, rear door child protection locks, rear liftgate release latch, remote keyless entry, Sentry Key engine immobilizer and speed-sensitive power locks.
The 2006 Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition is powered by a standard 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine that produces 150 horsepower (112kW) and 165 lb.-ft. (220 N•m) of torque coupled with a five-speed manual transmission. An optional four-speed automatic transmission also is available. The Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition will be available in some markets outside of North America, arriving at the end of 2005. The vehicle for international markets will be available in Solar Yellow and Black, and with a choice of the 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine or a 2.2-liter common-rail turbo diesel engine with a five-speed manual transmission.
"The Chrysler PT Street Cruiser Route 66 edition is the first factory-customized version of our newly refined 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser, and the eleventh version of the Chrysler PT Cruiser since the vehicle was introduced in 2000," said Larry Lyons, Vice President—Front-wheel-drive Product Team. "This Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition features the many interior, exterior and NVH improvements we've made to the refined 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser, all of which enhance the customer's overall driving experience, whether it's on their daily commute to work or on a cruise along the famous road it's named after."

This does not sound good for there being a Dream Cruiser 5. I like the Route 66 Edition but wish it offered a turbo.
"The Street Cruiser Route 66 Edition is the first factory customization of the newly refined 2006 Chrysler PT Cruiser."
The above sounds like there will be other limited editions offered. Will have to wait and so what and when.

I've said this before, but it bears repeating. I don't htink this is the DC5. It bears a striking resemblence in to the other mid-level special editions:
2003 California Cruiser
2004 Platinum Edition
2005 Signature Edition

This article from the Detroit Free Press sorta implies that the Street Cruiser is replacing the Dream Cruiser. The previous 4 DCs were introduced during the Woodward Dream Cruise, but this Street Cruiser appears to be it for this year's introduction at the event.

 I was at Woodward and cruising. I made three passes thru the MOPAR exhibits at Woodward & 13th Mile. I did not like the pictures of the 2006 PT - but, in person the car is g-r-e-a-t. Love that yellow color. I believe the Route 66 will sell.
I like both the new grill & dashboard. Headlights are so-so.

I agree. But I am sure Chrysler has looked at the numbers and figured out fast most people just wanted to see what the Dreams would look like. Everyone looks, but as the production numbers tell you, very few would buy. Blame it on price or whatever, if it doesn't sell why build. Goes for PT's or widgets. I will always be tickled that I got my dream when I was able. I predict the the "66" version will not be far different, everyone ohhh and ahhh's but they will sell few off the showroom floor. Just look at how fast the 66 version got posted on this site!!

Here is another option--make your own "Dream Cruiser".  Buy the 2006 PT Cruiser of your choice (in the color and with the options that you want) and then make modifications until you achieve your DREAM CAR!  It worked for me with my 2004 GT and now I have a one-of-a-kind PT Cruiser that is my dream ride!  Just my two cents. Good luck.

I think the route 66 edition will do OK, I personally only like the 2.4 H.O. motor. They are only asking $19000 the price alot of us paid for our almost 30 grand MSRP cars. I think they believe a lower priced custom will sell better. Base it on a lower level car instead of our loaded GT + dream package = $29400 MSRP. When the DC3s didn't sell they stopped at 1309 and dealers discounted them. This was great for us but terrible for DC. Just my two cents over.
