Chrysler New Yorker

The Chrysler New Yorker was Chrysler's most prestigious model for most of its run, starting as the New York Special trim of 1938, taking the New Yorker name in 1939 and ending in 1996, which made it the longest running American car nameplate. It moved from straight eights to Hemi and wedge V8s, from rear wheel to front wheel drive and from huge fuselage cars to small K car based sedans, and it was available as a sedan, coupe, convertible and wagon over the decades.
