The 2002 Sebring Convertible GTC also features a rear decklid spoiler, 16-inch painted aluminum wheels, color-keyed bodyside molding, and new badging for a sportier appearance. Inside, the Chrysler Sebring Convertible GTC offers two-tone seats, instrument panel inserts to replace the woodgrain, white-faced instrument cluster dials, and an AM/FM CD stereo.
