Chrysler New YorkerFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
Until its discontinuation in 1996, the New Yorker had
made its mark as the longest running American car
nameplate.
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 fromBuick, Oldsmobile and Mercury.

1941 Chrysler New Yorker
Convertible Coupé
298.7 CID straight-eight engine and a generous amount
of comfort and space to the passengers (series C19).[1]
For 1939 it was expanded with two more coupe versions
and a two-door sedan and a larger, more powerful engine.
Now the C23 series, it took on the "New Yorker" name,
dropping the "Special" tag.[2]
1940
The first convertibles were introduced with the all-new
body-design of the 1940 models. This, the C26 series,
was the first New Yorker to be considered a standalone
model rather than as an Imperial version.[3] It also saw
the introduction of Fluid Drive, a fluid coupling between
the engine and the clutch. The only transmission
available was the basic three-speed manual. There was
also the "New Yorker Highlander", a special version with
tartan seats and other interior elements.[4]
1941
Lightly
redesigned bodies
were introduced
for 1941, with the
business coupe
now being of the
three window
design. The
bodies were all
marginally wider
and lower, with
increased glass
surface. Another new model was the Town Sedan with
the rear doors having the hinges at the forward edge of
the doors. This year, the Vacamatic was made available, although unlike the version sold on six-cylinder
models, the Saratoga/New Yorker version was a three speed transmission with overdrive.
1942
With America entering World War II on 7 December 1941, all automobile production came to an end at the
beginning of February, 1942. Thus, the 1942 model year was roughly half the normal length. Cars built
after December 1941 had blackout trim.[3] The 1942s were quite modern, of a design which was heralding
the post-war ponton style with fenders more incorporated into the bodywork. The grille consisted of five
horizontal chrome bars which wrapped around the front, reaching all the way to the leading edge of the
front wheelhouses. 12,145 New Yorkers of the C36 series were built this year.[3]

Third generation
Chrysler would produce and experiment with engines for tanks and aircraft during World War II. One post-
war application of this would lead to the creation of the first generation Hemi of the 1950s.
1946–1948
After the war, the
New Yorker
became a separateseries.
Unlike most car
companies,
Chrysler did not
make major
changes with each
model year from
1946 through
1948. Thusmodels for 1946
through 1948 Chryslers have the same basic appearance,
noted for their 'harmonica' grille, based on the body
introduced with the 1941 models. 1947 saw a minor
redesign in tires, trim, and instrument panel, while the
first 1948s were just 1947s with no visible changes.
Postwar Chryslers continued to offer Fluid Drive, with
the New Yorker now offering the true four speed semi-
automatic transmission.

convertible
The 1949 New Yorker used Chrysler Corporation's new
postwar body also shared by Dodge and DeSoto with
ponton, three-box styling. The engine continued to be the
323.5-cid straight eight coupled to Fluid Drive and the
Prestomatic four-speed semi-automatic. Body styles were
reduced to club coupe, four-door sedan and convertible.
Wheelbase on the New Yorker was increased to 131.5 in
(3,340 mm) from the 127.5 in (3,240 mm) frame
introduced in 1941. The previous design had been carried
through early 1949, with the new (C46) series having
been delayed due to a strike in late 1948.[9]
The 1950 New Yorker was the more deluxe of the regular
eight-cylinder Chryslers (Saratoga being the eight with
plainer trim) with cloth upholstery available in (unusual
for 1950) several colors, 135 hp (101 kW) Spitfire
straight-eight engine and roomy interior featuring "chair
height" seats. The "Prestomatic" fluid drive transmission
had two forward ranges, each with two speeds. In normal
driving, high range was engaged using the clutch. The
car could then be driven without using the clutch (unless
reverse or low range was required); at any speed above
13 mph (21 km/h), the driver released the accelerator and
the transmission shifted into the higher gear of the range
with a slight "clunk". When the car came to a stop, the
lower gear was again engaged.
The big news for 1950 was the two-door hardtop, or
Special Club Coupe as Chrysler called it, in the NewYorker series. The model was called the Newport in sales
literature. Also, Chrysler added foam rubber padding on
the dashboard for safety.[10]
1951
Chrysler
introduces the
180 hp (130 kW)
FirePower Hemi
engine. The
engine becomes a
popular choice
among hot
rodders and racers
alike, a trend that
continues to
thrive today with
its namesake

FirePower Hemi
equipped cars
could accelerate 0
to 60 mph
(97 km/h) in 10
seconds, faster than the
Oldsmobile 88 Rocket
engine of that time.
The New Yorker also offered
Fluid Torque Drive, a true torque converter, in place of Fluid Drive.
Cars with Fluid Torque Drive came only with Fluid Matic semi-
automatic transmission and had a gear selector quadrant on the
steering column. Power steering, an industry first, appeared as an
option[11] on Chrysler cars with the Hemi engine. It was sold under
the name Hydraguide.
A station wagon was offered for 1951, with only 251 built. Its 131.5 in (3,340 mm) wheelbase is the longe
wheelbase ever used on a station wagon.
1952
Small redesign on taillights with the backup lights in the lower section. Last year for the 131.5 in
(3,340 mm) wheelbase chassis for the New Yorker.
In 1952 Harold A. Clark used a New Yorker as the base for a full-size sports car called the Clark Cycloni
The price was approximately $15,000 dollars and Clark planned to produce 48 during the first year.
Whether this car ever reached production is not known.[12] Francisco Rocha was the first to purchase one.
1953
A less bulky look with the wheelbase reduced to 125.5 in (3,190 mm),[8] a one-piece curved windshield[13
and rear fenders integrated into the body. Wire wheels were now an option. The Saratoga of 1952 became
the New Yorker for 1953 while the former New Yorker was now the New Yorker DeLuxe. The convertible
and Newport hardtop were available only in the New Yorker DeLuxe while the base New Yorker offered a
long wheelbase sedan and a Town & Country wagon. The convertible was New Yorker's costliest model onthe 125.5 in (3,190 mm) chassis for 1953 at $3,980 – only 950 were built. Also new were pull-style exterio
door handles.[14]
1954
The 1954 was a premium version of a standard 1950s size body. Chrysler's interest in six cylinder vehicles
began to wane in favor of the popular FirePower Hemi V8. The New Yorker was priced a little more
affordably, at $3,230 for the standard and $3,400 for the DeLuxe.

The standard model had a mild 195 hp (145 kW) output while the DeLuxe was used as a testbed of the
engine's capabilities by outputting 235 hp (175 kW). (Such power was unheard of in 1954 from its
competitors.)
Although introduced very late in the 1953 model year, all 1954 New Yorkers were available with the new
two speed Powerflite automatic transmission. Fluid Torque Drive and Fluid Matic were dropped. 1954 was
the last year the long wheelbase sedan was offered by Chrysler.
1955–1956
1955
In 1955, Chrysler
did away with the
out of fashion
high roofline
designs of K.T.
Keller and cameout with a new
sedan that
borrowed styling
cues from Virgil
Exner's custom
1952 Imperial Parade Phaeton. The hemi engine
produces 250 hp (190 kW) this year. The result would
become an ongoing trend for increasing engine output
throughout the next two decades with Chrysler and its
rival competitors. The Powerflite transmission wascontrolled by a lever on the instrument panel.
The series was called New Yorker DeLuxe with the base
New Yorker dropped. The club coupe was dropped being
replaced by the Newport two-door hardtop. A new higher
priced St.Regis two-door hardtop filled the spot of the
former Newport. The sedan, convertible and Town &
Country wagon were still offered.
1956
In 1956, Chrysler christened this model year
"PowerStyle" and it was one of the design works of
Virgil Exner. The New Yorker gained a new mesh grille,
leather seats, pushbutton PowerFlite selector, and a V8
with 280 hp (210 kW).

(242 kW). This stylish car sold well with 10,948 built, but only 1,049 convertible models. The 1957 models also
came with the TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic
transmission and a Torsion bar suspension called
Torsion-Aire that gave smoother handling and ride
quality to the car. The New Yorker also sported fins that
swept up from just behind the front doors.
Early model year production had single headlamps with
quad headlamps optional where state regulations
permitted them. The single headlamps were dropped later in the year.[18]
1958
Forward Look remains intact but with new body-side
trim, shrunken taillights and 345 hp (257 kW). The
convertible model was still available, with only 666

exist in 2008.[19] Sales were steady, but decreased from

last year due to The Recession of 1958. The car's
reputation was also tainted due to rust problems caused
by rushed production and testing.
The biggest news from Chrysler in 1958 was the
introduction of a cruise control system called "Auto-
Pilot"[20]
1959
The New Yorkers this year had a new 413 cu in (6.8 L) 350 hp
(260 kW) Golden Lion V8, new tailfins, new front end, and no
Hemi. The FirePower (1G) Hemi ended production and was
replaced by the less expensive and lighter wedge head engine. The
Hemi would never return to the New Yorker and slowly ended its
image as a performance car and re-branded it as a luxury car,
ushered in with styling similar to the Imperial of 1958. The Hemi engine itself would not return to Mopar
cars until 1964 with the second generation 426 Hemi.

The classic
Chrysler fins that
made the car
unique no longer
existed and now
only 4-door models were
offered in wagon,
sedan, and
hardtop models.
The finless car
was considered
"bizarre" by many critics and sales were slow compared to its entry
level sister car, the Newport which was identical in body style and
offered a convertible model. The New Yorker was the last Chrysler
to have a 126 in (3,200 mm) wheelbase.[21]
The 413 RB had a 4.1875 in (106 mm) bore and was used from
1959-1965 in cars. During that period, it powered all Chrysler New
Yorker and Imperial models, and was also available on the lesser
Chryslers, as well Dodge's Polara and Monaco, and the Plymouth
Fury as an alternative to the 383-cubic-inch B series engine and/or
the 318 Poly. With a compression ratio of 10:1, it developed 340
brake horsepower in 1X4-Bbl trim.
1963
Chrysler got a boost in sales in 1963 with the introduction of a 5-
year/50,000-mile warranty, a business practice that was unheard of
by its competitors in the 1960s. The New Yorker used Chrysler's
completely redesigned body with only the windshield showing
traces of the previous Forward Look designs, although, under the
skin, platform changes were near zero, with only a change from 12" Total Contact to Bendix 11" Duo-Serv
brakes. A new, more luxurious Salon four-door hardtop was added at midyear as a trim package. Engine
output is 340 hp (250 kW) and the wheelbase is now 122 in (3,100 mm).
1964
Changes for 1964 included a new grille, larger rear window and small tailfins giving the car a boxier look
from the side. Canadians were given the choice of a new two-door hardtop, while Americans got the Salon
option on the four-door hardtop and post.

now built on an
all-new C-body
unibody platform
which featured a
bolt-on, rubber-
isolated front sub
frame. Elwood

the '65 New

Chrysler models)
with styling cues
from his 1961
Lincoln
Continental —
square side view
with chrome trim
along the top
edges of the
fenders. The
options were: a
413 CID V8, dual
pipe exhaust and
power options
(A/C, windows,antenna and
steering). The
engine itself put
out 375 hp
(280 kW) and
was phased out for the 440 Firepower next model year.
The styling began to share some visual similarities with
the premium luxury sedan Imperial which received an
all-new appearance in 1964.
Factory options for 1965 included a 350 hp 413 ci
Firepower engine, vinyl rear roof pillar insert, Saginaw-sourced Tilt 'N Telescopic steering wheel and
standard power options.
For 1965, the 4-door sedan used the six-window Town Sedan style which also used by the 1965 Chrysler
Newport and Dodge Custom 880. The two-door hardtop was now sold in the U.S. Wheelbase of New
Yorker models, except the wagon, was 124 in (3,100 mm). The Town & Country wagon was on the Dodge
121 in (3,100 mm) wheelbase as all C body wagons shared the same basic body.

For 1966, the Chrysler New Yorker adopted the new 440-cid V8 engine. Styling changes included a new
grille, taillamps and revised side trim. The Town & Country wagon was dropped as the model was now
marketed as a series on its own.
Overall, 1966 was a good sales year for Chrysler with a steady increase in production and sales.
1967
1967 brought sheetmetal redesign below the belt line with wraparound parking lights at the front and
taillights at the rear. A new fasttop design for the two-door hardtop replaced the more formal look of 1965–
1966. The four-door sedan reverted to the four-window style as used on the Newport sedan and it had the

Sales slumped 20%, the company's lowest in five years due to an economic slump this year.

Changes included new front and rear treatments. Although the Newport and 300 four-door hardtops

line. Underneath
the new look
were the
underpinnings of 1965. The new
look was called "Fuselage Styling" and was shared with
the restyled Imperial. The two-door hardtop received a
new look harking back to the club coupes of the 1940s.

the grille,
taillamps and
trim. The small
vent windows on
the front doors
were dropped on
the two-door
hardtops.
1971
Due to sales that were less than expected, the facelift scheduled for
1971 was put off until 1972. Thus the 1971 models received new
grilles and revised taillamps, changes that took a sharp eye to note.
Ventless front-door windows on the four-door sedan and hardtop
were new this year.
1972
For 1972, Engine power dropped to meet stricter emissions standards and rising gas prices. Chryslers
received a new 'split grille' somewhat similar to the Dodge Chargers of 1971-1974. This would be the last
ear for the 'loop'-style front bumpers on Chryslers.

These 1974
models timed to
coincide precisely
with the 1973

embargo, andwere a significant
part of Chrysler's
economic woes in
the late 1970s.
The 1974 models
were the last full-size models Chrysler designed from the
ground up.[23] Two New Yorker trim levels were offered
in 1974, the base New Yorker and an upgraded New
Yorker Brougham. A new St. Regis option package was
added mid-year.
1975
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.
1976
In 1976, the New Yorker inherited the front and rear end styling of the discontinued Imperial, and itsinteriors as well. 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.
1977
The standard 440-cid V8 engine was now computer-controlled with a new "lean burn" system allowing for
more responsive acceleration and performance.

1982
In an effort of downsizing, the 1982 Chrysler New
Yorker (and the Fifth Avenue trim) moved to the
corporate M-body. In turn, the Chrysler LeBaron, which
had previously used the M-body, moved to the compact
K-body this year. The 1982 New Yorker was not a
completely new vehicle. It was essentially a restyled andupgraded version of the LeBaron which had been
produced since 1977. This M-body New Yorker used
Chrysler's slant 6 engine. The 318 in³ engine was
optional.
The 1982 New Yorker was available in two trims: Base
and Fifth Avenue. Both used the formal roof treatment.
The Fifth Avenue package gave buyers a choice of
pillowed Corinthian leather or Kimberley velvet seats
while base models had cloth or optional leather seats.This car became the Chrysler New Yorker Fifth
Avenue for 1983 and for 1984 the "New Yorker" prefix
was dropped altogether; becoming the Chrysler Fifth
Avenue.

1983
In 1983, the NewYorker name was
used on two
different models.
The M-body car
was now the
"New Yorker
Fifth Avenue" a
name which
changed to simply
"Fifth Avenue"from 1984 to
1989. The other
was an all new K-
car based New
Yorker, which
used the front-
wheel drive
Chrysler E
platform, the
beginning of theextended K-car
years.
The E-platform
New Yorker came
with state-of-the-
art 1980s
technology,
including a digital dashboard and Electronic Voice Alert,
which spoke notifications such as "A door is ajar";"Please fasten your seat belts"; "Don't forget your keys";
"Thank you" (when you fastened your seat belt, closed
the door tightly or removed the key from the ignition
switch); "Your engine oil pressure is low - prompt service
is required". Also standard was a Landau vinyl roof with
electroluminescent opera lamps. This was the only
Chrysler New Yorker generation with an inline-four
engine.

1983 was a limited production year for the FWD New
Yorker. When introduced in 1983, it shared many
elements with the Chrysler E-Class and had a waterfall
grille that was slightly different from the 1984-1988
versions.
1984
Restyled wraparound taillights and a revised front grille were among the cosmetic changes for 1984. A 2.2
L I4 turbo engine was now an option. New electronic instrumentation featured digital speedometer and
odometer. Pillowed velvet seats replaced deep-nap cloth seats as standard.
1985
Standard engine switched from 2.2 L I4 to Mitsubishi-sourced 2.6 L I4. New standard interior features
included overhead storage console with reading lamps, rear seat headrests, and power windows.
1986
Chrysler-built 2.5 L I4 replaced 2.6 L I4 as standard engine. Also new was an automatic load leveling
suspension. Cosmetically, rear deck lid panels, moldings and taillights were redesigned. Interior changes
included a new forward console and revised electronic instrumentation. AM/FM stereo and deluxe
intermittent wipers were now standard.
1987
Hood vents were eliminated on turbo models, as were fender louvers on all models. A new six-speaker
Infinity sound system was optional. As with other Chryslers, steering wheel was redesigned. 1987 was the best-selling and last full model year for the E-platform New Yorker.
1988
Although a new thirteenth generation New Yorker was introduced for 1988, the twelfth generation
continued for one more abbreviated model year as the 1988 New Yorker Turbo. As the model name
suggested, the 2.2 L I4 turbo was now the standard and only available engine. In addition to the turbo
engine, previously optional yet commonly ordered equipment like automatic temperature control air
conditioning, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, rear window defogger, and power door locks became
standard.
While previous model year New Yorkers equipped with the optional turbo engine were also commonly
referred to as a "New Yorker Turbo" and wore "Turbo" badges, only the 1988 model had it as its official
model name.

and optional anti-lock brakes. Base and Landau trim
choices were offered, the latter of which carried a rear-
quarter vinyl top. Hidden headlamps, a feature lost when
the R-body cars were discontinued, made a return with
this redesign.
All thirteenth generation New Yorkers, as well as the
reintroduced flagship 1990-1993 Imperial, were covered
by Chrysler's market-leading "Crystal Key Owner Care

1989
For 1989, the 3.0 liter V6 engine had a slight horsepower
increase and was now mated to a new 4-speed Ultradrive
automatic transmission. This year also marked the 50th
anniversary of the "New Yorker" name. Although no
special anniversary edition or recognition was offered at
the time, it turned out to be the most popular New Yorker of the model run with over 100,000 units produced that
ear.
1990
In 1990, a new base model New Yorker called "Salon" was added. The Salon was a rebadged Dodge
Dynasty with exposed headlamps, horizontal taillights, and grille similar to the Dodge. The Salon was sold
in Canada as the Chrysler Dynasty. All models carried a new Chrysler-built 3.3 L V6 engine that year.
Minor changes to the interior included a more contemporary contoured dash. A driver's side air bag was
now standard.
1991
The Landau model was dropped for 1991 but Salon was upgraded and now came with more standard
equipment, hidden headlights, vertical taillights, and a traditional Chrysler grille.
1992
A styling update for 1992 produced a more rounded appearance front and rear. A padded landau roof,
similar to one previously featured on the "Landau" model, was now an option on the Salon.
1993
Last year's restyle carried into 1993. The last thirteenth generation New Yorker rolled off the assembly line
on May 28, 1993.
New Yorker Fifth Avenue
In 1990, a new stretched-wheelbase New Yorker version was offered carrying the additional moniker of
Fifth Avenue from the just-departed M-body platform. Although officially sold as the New Yorker FifthAvenue, it was sometimes referred to as simply "Fifth Avenue." This model was discontinued in 1993.

1994
The last
generation of the
New Yorker
continued with
front-wheel drive
on an elongatedversion of the
new Chrysler LH platform and was shown at the 1992
North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It
was released along with the nearly identical Chrysler
LHS for the 1994 model year, a year after the original
LH cars: the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and
Eagle Vision, were introduced. The New Yorker came
standard with the 3.5 L EGJ which produced 214 hp
(160 kW). Chrysler gave the New Yorker a more
"traditional American" luxury image, and the LHS amore European performance image (as was done with the
Eagle Vision). Aside from different color choices, little
separated New Yorker from LHS in appearance, with
New Yorker's chrome exterior trim, gray body cladding,
optional chrome wheel covers, column shifter and front
bench seat, being the only noticeable differences. LHS
also came with many of New Yorker's optional features
as standard equipment, and featured a firmer tuned
suspension, to go with its more European image.
1995
For 1995, the New Yorker received Chrysler's revived
blue ribbon logo (which was last used in the 1950s) on its
grille, which replaced the pentastar which had been used
on models beginning in 1980.

The 1996 model featured additional sound insulation and
revised structural engineering to give it a quieter ride. A
new built-in transmitter replaced the remote garage door
opener. Optional Infinity sound system now incorporated
cassette and CD players.
Due to similarities between the New Yorker and LHS, and the LHS's strong sales, the New Yorker name
was dropped after 1996. Despite being far more contemporary and monochromatic in design compared to
previous models, the traditional New Yorker with its 2 tone cladding and chrome trim still did not followthe modern, monochromatic styling trend of the division's other vehicles in 1997.
LH design background
The fourteenth, and final, generation New Yorker's design can be traced to 1986, when designer Kevin
Verduyn completed the initial exterior design of a new aerodynamic concept sedan called Navajo. The
design never passed the clay model stage.
It was also at this time that the Chrysler Corporation purchased bankrupt Italian sports car manufacturer
Lamborghini. The Navajo's exterior design was reworked and became the Lamborghini Portofino, releasedas a concept at the 1987 Frankfurt Auto Show. The Portofino was heralded as a design triumph, setting in
motion Chrysler's decision to produce a production sedan with the Portofino's revolutionary exterior design
called "cab-forward".
The cab forward design was characterized by the long, low slung windshield, and relatively short
overhangs. The wheels were effectively pushed to the corners of the car, creating a much larger passenger
cabin than the contemporaries of the time.
Design of the chassis began in the late 1980s, after Chrysler had bought another automaker: American
Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1987. During this time, Chrysler began designing the replacement for theDodge Dynasty and Chrysler Fifth Avenue as well as a potential Plymouth. The initial design of Dodge's
LH bore resemblance to the Dynasty, and this design was scrapped entirely after François Castaing,
formerly AMC's Vice President of product engineering and development, became Chrysler's Vice Presiden
of vehicle engineering in 1988. The new design, under Castaing's leadership, began with the Eagle Premier
also sold later as the Dodge Monaco.
The Premier's longitudinal engine mounting layout was inherited, as was the front suspension geometry,
and parts of the braking system. The chassis itself became a flexible architecture capable of supporting fron
or rear-wheel drive (designated "LH" and "LX" respectively).
The chassis design was continually refined throughout the following years, as it underpinned more Chrysle
prototypes: the 1989 Chrysler Millennium and 1990 Eagle Optima.
The transmission was inspired by the Eagle Premier's ZF automatic. However, it borrowed heavily from
Chrysler's A604 (41TE) "Ultradrive" transversely mounted automatic, it became the A606 (also known as
42LE). This Ultradrive transmission however was not without critics as The New York Times reported on
January 25, 1991 that Consumers Union would publish in the February 1991 issue of the magazine
Consumer Reports a warning for consumers to not purchase a vehicle with this "Ultradrive" transmission
citing poor reliability and safety hazards.

4/7/2016 Chrysler New Yorker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_New_Yorker#1986 22
By 1990, it was decided that the new technologically advanced car would need a new technologically
advanced engine to power it. Until that time, the only engine confirmed for use was Chrysler's 3.3 L
pushrod V6, which would be used in the three original LH cars, the Intrepid, Vision, and Concorde, in base
form. The 3.3 L engine's 60° block was bored out to 3.5 L, while the pushrod-actuated valves were replace
with SOHC cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder, creating an advanced 3.5 L V6 optional in the
three smaller cars, but standard in LHS and New Yorker.
The general LH appearance, still based on the cab forward exterior design of the 1987 Lamborghini
Portofino concept, with its aerodynamic shape, made for little wind noise inside this large car. This sleek styling gives the LH cars a low drag coefficient which was ahead of its time.
The New Yorker featured a more monochromatic design inside and out (but less so than its LHS sibling,
which had very little chromed trim), and aluminum wheels with a Spiralcast design. The single color motif
was more pronounced on models without the grey lower cladding.
Upscale New Yorker models feature leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel, shift knob and door inserts.
Passenger comforts include rear center rear armrest, and 8-way power seats for both the driver and
passenger, as well as personal reading lamps.
Power windows and central door locks were standard, as was climate control with air conditioning, and
cruise control. remote keyless entry available as an option, as was a remote activated alarm, an overhead
console with computer, power moonroof and alloy wheels. The best stock audio options found in New
Yorker are the Infinity sound systems having eight speakers positioned throughout the cabin along with an
equalizer. Head units include a radio with either cassette or CD playback, and up to a five-band adjustable
graphic equalizer, with joystick balance and fade control
Standard safety features included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and traction control.
Dual-way power sunroofs were available on this car. They were designed and installed by American
Sunroof Corp. (now ASC Global) from its Columbus, Ohio plant, not by Mopar itself. An installed sunroo
eliminated most of the front overhead console that featured storage bins for a garage door opener and
sunglasses. However, the Overhead Travel Information System (OTIS), or onboard computer with
integrated map lights, was retained.
LHS
The five-passenger Chrysler LHS was differentiated from its New Yorker counterpart by a floor console
and shifter, five-passenger seating, lack of chrome trim, an upgraded interior and a sportier image. For the
1997 model year the New Yorker was dropped in favor of a six-passenger option on the 1997 LHS. The
LHS received a minor face change in 1995 when the corporate wide pentastar emblem was replaced with
the revived Chrysler brand emblem.
Being the top-of-the-line Chrysler, many features came standard on the LHS — features optional on its
siblings. Some of these options included a 3.5 L EGE 24-valve 214 hp (160 kW) V6 engine, body-colored
grille, side mirrors and trim, traction control, aluminum wheels, integrated fog lights, and 8-way power
adjustable front seats, premium sound systems with amplifiers, and automatic temperature control. Unlike
the New Yorker, leather seats were standard.

Chrysler LHS
The headlamps on the 1994 models were very poorly designed and
many owners complained about their poor brightness. Chrysler
rushed the redesign into the production for 1995 model year. The
new design used a projector-style headlight beam, something that
was still somewhat uncommon for its time.
The 1995-1997 LHS was sold in Europe with the New Yorker
nameplate and featured rear amber turn signals, rear fog lamps, side
turn signal repeaters, and headlamps that incorporated different lensgeometry and bulbs, whereas the side markers were deleted. 1996-1997 LHS exports to South Korea and
the Middle East likewise bore the New Yorker nameplate. South Korean exports looked like a European
New Yorker, Middle East exports like an American LHS.
The first generation LHS was praised by motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson, who is well known for
criticizing American automobiles but described the LHS as "by global standards, right up there with the
best."[25]
