ntroduced just in time for the Motor City's celebrated Woodward Dream Cruise, the 2002 Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser Series 1 is a limited-edition model that was available in Chrysler dealerships by February of 2002. This edition is the first in a series of factory-customized Dream Cruisers to be introduced on an annual basis.
Chrysler began production on January 7, 2002 and built only 7,500 units in North America, with a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $23,245 for the manual transaxle version and $24,070 for the automatic transaxle version (prices include $565 for destination).
The 2002 Chrysler PT Dream Cruiser is painted Inca Gold, an evolution of the color first shown on the Chrysler Pronto Cruizer concept car revealed at the 1998 Salon de l'Automobile in Geneva, Switzerland. This color, exclusive to this series of PT Cruisers, is a chrome-yellow gold with a metallic sparkle. In addition to Inca Gold paint, the vehicle features a "Dream Cruiser, Series 1" chrome badge on the liftgate. The car also sports 16-inch MOPAR chrome wheels with customized gold center caps and bright PT Cruiser graphics.
"Visually, the Inca Gold monochromatic appearance unifies the Chrysler PT Cruiser's dramatic form," said Trevor Creed, Senior Vice President of Design, Chrysler Group. "With its unique color-keyed grille, bumpers and body-side moldings, the vehicle takes on more of a customized look."
Inside, a special plaque is integrated into the instrument panel that reads, "Dream Cruiser, Series 1." The plaque also marks the number of the vehicle, 1 - 7,500, to indicate the sequence in which it was built as part of the limited edition Dream Cruiser production run. In addition, "Dream Cruiser" will be embroidered into the floor mats with matching Inca Gold thread.
The same matching colored accents appear throughout the interior - - - on the instrument panel, including the passenger-side air bag door and instrument cluster bezel. Door bolsters are a matching gold grain vinyl. Seats are Dark Taupe and Light Pearl Beige with Inca Gold half-moon leather inserts. A unique textured leather, called Matrix leather, is used in the seat cushion, seat back inserts, steering wheel, and shift knob on automatic transmissions.
