Diecast Chysler PT Cruiser

When it comes to retro-looks and retro-style for an affordable price, one car comes to mind: the Chrysler PT Cruiser.
 
2003 Chrysler PT Cruiser

The compact 5-door hatchback was produced from 2001 through 2010. It borrowed styling influences from Chrysler sedans of the 1930s. It officially counted as a light truck for Chrysler's average fuel economy calculations.


While the car was praised for styling and was initially one of the cutest retro cars on the market, it eventually was criticized for poor crash safety test results for side-impacts.  While there were some turbo versions available, the car was also criticized by enthusiasts for lackluster performance.  While the PT Cruiser was no Ferrari, it was an opportunity for average middle class people to buy an economical car with a strong sense of style.  It was also very practical as a people and grocery hauler.  Today, many people remain loyal to the retro look of the PT Cruiser.


Since many people remain loyal to the PT Cruiser, there are many interesting Diecast Chrysler PT Cruisers on Amazon.  Collectors love them!
