Tangerine Dream in Quadraphonic 3D Technicolor If there is a current production vehicle better suited to customization I've never seen it. Chrysler seems to agree, bound and determined to exploit that fact with a variety of
PT Cruiser permutations.

The tangerine orange Dream Cruiser Series 2 is just one of many personalized PTs, with specialty add-ons ranging from a simple but effective flames package, ultra-retro exterior wood paneling option and classy chrome detailing that brightens up grille, hood-line and mouldings.

Chrysler delved deepest into customization with the seriously off-the-wall Dream Cruiser. My family dubbed it Agent Orange; a slightly irreverent name inspired from its sensational metallic tangerine exterior paint scheme. It's either manna to the eyes or an abomination on wheels, depending on personal taste, something bystanders often feel obliged to express. There are none, however, that don't take a second look while passing by. Personally I love it, but I'm biased being that orange is my favorite color.
Its mirror-finish chrome plated 17-inch wheels are stunning too; complete with a tasteful orange center hub that ties together the entire design. The standard PT chrome door handles balance out Chrysler's large chrome winged logo front and rear, the latter of which incorporates a latch handle for the rear liftgate. An exclusive crested badge adorns the left rear side, chrome and orange with the words Dream Cruiser Series 2 inscribed for all to see.
