The **Chrysler California Cruiser** was a [concept car](/source/Concept_car) created by [Chrysler](/source/Chrysler_(division)). It debuted at the 2002 [Paris Motor Show](/source/Paris_Motor_Show), showing the possible future design of the [Chrysler PT Cruiser](/source/Chrysler_PT_Cruiser).[1] It also had the ability to convert to a "hotel room" for two.

The California Cruiser used a 2.4 L [turbocharged](/source/Turbocharged) [I4](/source/Straight-4) engine producing 215 hp (160 kW).[2] Inside, it featured silver inserts on the door trim, quarter panels, and hatchback trim. The California Cruiser also had an integrated [stereo system](/source/Stereo_system) in the liftgate. The exterior was suited for the average [surfer](/source/Surfer) (hence the name, since [California](/source/California) is famous for its surfers). The fog lamps on the California Cruiser were a visible difference, although the 2006 PT Cruiser used similar-looking lamps.
