Few cars have such a long, sad history of being poorly/tastelessly/cheesily (is that a word?) customized as the PT Cruiser. For every visor, baby moon, flamed, fender skirted PT out there, I present to you the new high (low?) watermark.

It has always mystified me how the PT, for some folks, was a blank canvas to tack the goofiest add-ons onto.

A Goofy fanatic. How fitting...

This generations custom van!

LINKY to UGLIEST PT

That one is intentionally ridiculous though. Terrible, but on purpose. Whomever paid big $$ for the Goofy paint job actually thought it was cool.

There's worse out there.

I'm sure the owner loves it and that is what really counts.

but it is definitely not my cup of tea.

While they own it, 100%. Comes time to sell it, not so much.

Cruisers are old enough that the paint isn't going to make much difference in selling price.

Sure going to make a difference in who is willing to buy it though.

We had a PT Turbo for several years. They are a great road trip car, except for the fuel tank being too small. Decent ride, good power, and even reasonably quiet on the inside.

It is still far better than a Hyundai or Kia. GT = turbo, they were good driving cars.

Kia has came al long way 290hp turbo K5 GT.

Maybe an 89 Hyundai Excel.

Do you really think this owner is thinking about resale value????

I'm sorry I don't care for the paint job on your PT Cruiser.

And I'm thinking that he/she won't care. It's his/her car. If he/she is happy, that is all that matters.

I had to jump in here and see if someone posted a picture of my wife's PT rust bucket.
I'm somewhat relived to find out that it was just someone's "special paint" job. .
