Gee dad, I really like that old car sitting by the barn, but it has mouse droppings, and the paint is all faded. DING ! IDEA.... Lets just make our current car (pt cruiser) LOOK just like it!

NOTE the killer custom tails



if your stomach can handle that, then here is more..

I never got the wood panel thing. I do love those tails, though.

I'm just not a fan of the "PT Loser" or "PT Bruiser" and to add wood paneling to it? ICK! :rolleyes:

I am REALLY diggin the updated Woody look. Those look NICE!

there you go tbat, if you use balsa wood, you can call it a weight saving mod.

hey guys tbat might get upset your knocken the cruzer

I was thinking the same thing

Wow, that's very interesting lol. I actually saw one in person but they are mostly "fake" wood sticker than real wood on this picture. It is going suck if wood crack.

Then he shouldn't have bought a four banger. :p

I'm not upset AND I make no apologies. My Cruiser is blast to drive mostly due to the turbo 4 banger. As a matter of fact if I were to do a few simple mods to it I'm pretty sure it would eat the T-Bat alive. 250hp will move the car pretty lively.

As fas as the wood goes, I've never been a huge fan of the woody cars (despite my woodworking hobby)...some of the old original real wood wagons are shining examples of the woodworking art. The fact remains that the "woody" Town & Country has long been a part of Chrysler's heritage so it was natural that a retro car like the Cruiser would get the treatment.

However I will say this...if given the choice between having to drive a woody Cruiser or a big baller,skyriding Donk machine...or a wire wheeled, wide whitewall, airbagged lowrider...or some Gigantor, 4WD monster truck fugitive...

I'll drive the woody (with turbo)

gigantor would be great in traffic!

yeah portable trash can.....ive driven em ...thumbs down lol

I love how long I can go on $20 now. Much further than I could in the GP.

With gas prices at $1.70 a gallon, I don't care about mileage. I'm enjoying the power again.

I am really bashing the PT Cruiser woody edition, Although I can't stand the looks of the regular PT cruisers either, Its nothing against Tbat, and he knows that.

Obviously there are tons of people that DO like them, they are everywhere! Its just not my style of car. And as crazy as it seems, people do like the woody versions too, about 30% of the PT's I see have the woody kit.

lots of folks purchased the woody kits aftermatket and installed them besides the dealer installs. I've seen one or two that I thought didnt look too bad but I couldnt help but wonder what they would look like in a year or two after the fading and plastic warping starts taking hold. I've seen some older LeBaron woody wagons that have not aged well at all.
Oddly enough, my wife actually owned one while she was still in New York.(LeBaron Town & Country wagon) It was defintely one of her $1k-under beaters but I couldnt help but laugh when I would drive it around. It had the 2.5 turbo engine and while it looked like a bent 80 year old man, it ran like it had the heart of sprinter...way more power than that chassis had any business handling. Yet it was hilarious to hassle the local kids with their fart can rides when they got blown off by a woody wagon (might have lost a trim piece or two along the way)...the car actually became kind of like "Ole Yeller" it was a mutt and it was ugly...and we came close to shooting it before we sold it but it was a loyal ragamuffin (still ran its azz off but the rest was falling apart)

Not to make anyone blow chunks, but here is a photochop from early Paintshop days. When I still owned my Intrepid, the message board would have photochop contests every month (since one of the moderators actually taught graphics in college at San Diego)
They would give us a pic to work with and everyone who participated had to turn in something different. So one month he gave us pic of a Chrysler Concorde and dug back into little retro theme and came up with this...



(just seemed to fit the subject)

Tbat rollin in a lebaron woody wagon. PICS or I call BS. lol

I am still waiting for Tbat to just out of nowhere throw pics up of his Grand Prix Woody coupe.

Guess I'm in the minority...I kind of like the PT woody wagons.... I don't see many around here.
