The FirePower Hemi V8 of the 1959 New Yorker was replaced by a new, less expensive to produce wedge head 413 cubic inch, 350 horsepower Golden Lion V8, and the tailfins and front end were altered. With the departure of the Hemi, the New Yorker line was repositioned as a luxury car with styling similar to the 1958 Imperial, taking a role as the Chrysler brand's luxury flagship while the Imperial stayed above it.
