Car Review : Chrysler Rolls Out 2008 PT Street Cruiser Sunset Boulevard Edition

Automotive News

Chrysler said it is kicking off Woodward Dream Cruise festivities this week with the rollout of its latest limited-edition model, the 2008 PT Street Cruiser Sunset Boulevard Edition. The car will go on sale later this summer starting at $16,650 for the manual-transmission model and $17,475 for the automatic-transmission model. Both prices include a $640 destination charge.

Chrysler notes that this is the 11th customized version of the PT Cruiser since the car's introduction in 2000. The latest model is spun off the 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser LX.

Details include special Sunset Crystal paint, 16-inch chrome-clad nine-spoke wheels with all-season tires, a power moonroof and deep-tint sunscreen glass. Street Cruiser badging decorates the rear liftgate. Interior touches include Pastel Pebble Beige sport bucket seats, bright sill scuff pads and bright accent ring cupholders.

The Sunset Boulevard Edition joins such special models as the Flames, Woodie and Street Cruiser Route 66. Sunset Boulevard is an iconic thoroughfare in popular culture. It was the setting for the 1960s TV series 77 Sunset Strip and served as the inspiration for the 1950 movie of the same name, as well as the 1993 Andrew Lloyd Webber musical that starred Glenn Close as Norma Desmond.
