  • The Chrysler New Yorker is an automobile model which was produced by Chrysler from 1940 to 1996, serving for several years as the brand's flagship model. A trim level named the "New York Special" first appeared in 1938 and the "New Yorker" name debuted in 1939. The New Yorker name helped define the Chrysler brand as a maker of upscale models, priced and equipped above mainstream brands like Ford, Chevrolet/Pontiac, and Dodge/Plymouth, but below full luxury brands like Cadillac, Lincoln and Packard. During the New Yorker's tenure, it competed against upper level models from Buick, Oldsmobile and Mercury. Until its discontinuation in 1996, the New Yorker had made its mark as the longest-running American car nameplate.
    For 1975, the New Yorker received a slightly revised grille and New Yorker Brougham became the sole trim designation. The St. Regis package, introduced in mid-1974, returned for its first full year.
    In 1976, the New Yorker inherited the front and rear end styling of the discontinued Imperial, and its interiors as well, especially, covered headlights. The Imperial styling gave the New Yorker an unforeseen boost in sales, as the car looked distinctly different from the lower priced Newport. The styling cues formerly used on the 1974 and 1975 New Yorkers in turn were passed on to the base Chrysler Newport.
    In 1977, the standard 440-cid V8 engine was now computer-controlled with a new "lean burn" system allowing for more responsive acceleration and performance.
    The 1978 New Yorker Brougham was available in 2-door and 4-door hardtop body styles. Both were the last U.S.-built true pillarless hardtop models along with featuring frameless door glass and fully opening windows. An optional "St. Regis" package included a partial "formal" padded vinyl roof that included a fixed B-pillar and opera window. This was also the final year a 2-door New Yorker was offered. Appearance changes were limited to a new segmented grill design, dual accent tape strips on the lower body sides, new rear deck stripes, and bright accents on the taillamps. The 400 cu in (6.6 L) V8 engine (360 cu in (5.9 L) in California and high altitude regions) was now the standard engine with the 440 cu in (7.2 L) becoming optional. The last year of the C-body New Yorker Broughams saw engineering changes that included a revised windshield wiper linkage bushing, redesigned front and rear plastic fender extensions for the bumpers, and thinner glass.

      Years ago cars had so many exterior and interior colors. That is because most cars were made to order, and you had to wait 6-8 weeks to get your new car. Today mist cars are bought off the dealership’s lot, so they limit color choices.

    This was my favorite car as a kid. Ours was a lighter “Fern” green with a darker green vinyl top. It had a tufted velour interior. We bought it new in Spring 77 when I was 12, my sister 8. We went on a 3 week driving trip that summer. I thought I’d gone to heaven!

      Didn't you think back then at 12 (and so did the neighbors) that you were riding in something special? A family down the road bought a '78 two door New Yorker brougham that was as loaded as loaded could be. Triple gray, chrome rings around the wheels, padded landau roof, gigantic moonroof. The car was stunning. Better looking than the just shrunk Cadillacs of '77. Thanks for sharing that memory.

    1977 was the year I got my license to drive. Today these cars draw attention as massive dinosaurs, back then they were just regular cars. Many of my friend's parents had big cars with big block V8s, whichmeant smoky burnouts to us 16 years old kids.

    I had an extremely low mileage '78 Brougham sedan for a time... Dove Grey with matching leather and a Silver vinyl top.
    I miss that car!
    I aced the Lean Burn setup and replaced it with a Demon Thermoquad... Gutted the Catalytic Converter and put an aftermarket "HEI" distributor in it... Ran like a Champ and got about 15mpg in town and almost 30 on the Highway!

    I had a '75 Imperial, twin to this car...dark blue with blue velour pillowed interior, and a factory sunroof. the biggest difference was 4 wheel disc brakes, which the NY did not have. awesome handling car. these were great looking road cars, and the last full size Chrysler...such a delight to drive down the road. must make quite a statement in Norway!

    I bought a 1977 New Yorker Brougham in the early 80s. I absolutely loved everything about the car. It had alot of options. Tilt + telescopic steering wheel,a great AC,power windows,power seats,power door locks power trunk release,hideaway headlights,and a foot operated radio switch. ( GM calls it wonderbar.) The iterior was awesome. Burgundy colored plush velour.The exterior color was Silver with a Burgundy colored Landau roof. It ran great for about 3 years then all of a sudden it started to load up and backfire. No one could figure out why. Any answers??

    Chrysler was on the skids at this point. The dashboard is almost identical to that of my first company car - a 1977 Plymouth Fury.
    You could fit a K-Car in the trunk of the New Yorker.
    Is that a restoration or a beautifully preserved survivor?
    Thanks

    • @OsbornTramain
      @OsbornTramain Před 9 měsíci

      It's actually a completely different dash board. They used a modular approach. The Dodge and Plymouth were identical, but Chrysler and Imperial are completely different. It uses the same radios and clocks and some component sharing, but the placement and style and padding is very different and won't interchange with a Plymouth or Dodge
