Where Do Old PT Cruisers Go to Die?

A Contribution fomo Ed! Thank you!

Where Do Old PT Cruisers Go to Die?







Recently I was driving just west of the old GM Plant in Moraine, Ohio, and on Dryden Road saw this lot full of old Chrysler PT Cruisers.  Counting the ones in the front row and the ones in the back there were around 30 of these vehicles.

Rest in Peace for what, at least for a few years, became somewhat of a cult car that was designed to mimic some of the styling cues of 1930s automobiles.  In my opinion certainly not the best retro design! Curiously, one still sees a few on the roads today.  The convertible version was an oddity and some might suggest a want-to-be Shriner Clown Car.

Manufactured at the Toluca Car Assembly in Toluca, Mexico, by March, 2006, DaimlerChrysler had built 1,000,0000 PT Cruisers (yes, that's one million folks).  The final PT Cruiser was built in July 2010.  A total of 1,050,281 PT Cruisers were marketed and sold in the US.

But what did the "PT" stand for in the name "PT Cruiser?"  No kidding, Chrysler said it stood for "Personal Transportation."  At least 30 of these "personal transportation devices" reside on Dryden Road here in Dayton, Ohio.  Come and get them before they're gone!

  1. Informative and helpful Post. Thanks for sharing. I want to share information about the iOS app development companies in Pune. The cooperative and client-centric approach embraced by these entities ensures fluid communication and transparency throughout the development journey, cultivating a robust partnership between the client and the development team. Consequently, enterprises in Pune stand to gain from bespoke iOS applications that not only elevate their digital footprint but also amplify user engagement and satisfaction, thereby making significant contributions to their overall triumph in the fiercely competitive mobile app landscape.
