In 1999 Daimler-Chrysler presented the auto show concept car (lower left photo) which in 2000 became the PT Cruiser. Since its inception, through to the 2009 PT Dream Cruiser Series 5,(lower right photo), the wonderfully unique PT has stirred up wistfulness and longing among a population readily drawn to its retro styling.
In words found in a September 23, 2006 article in the Dayton Daily News, (Return of the Throwbacks) "One of the more prominent retro designs is the omnipresent Chrysler PT Cruiser".
With its trademark stand-up grille similar to those found on cars of the 1930s, and the PT Cruiser's silhouette resembling that of a Woody or an old sedan delivery. Its retro touches extend to throwback door handles and the ivory knob atop the shifter.

Owner clubs soon started popping up all over the world, one of which is the Gem City PT Cruisers. With members throughout Ohio's Miami Valley, from Middletown to Piqua, GCPTC is one of several in Ohio and Indiana. If you are a PT Cruiser owner-enthusiast living in the Miami Valley we invite you to make our club your club.
Each year we take a number of cruises to interesting destinations, participate in Cruiser car shows, eats lots of food, enjoy the company of other owners, and serve our communities. Join with us for some Cruiser fun!
