The New Yorker began as the New York Special, a sub series of the 1938 Imperial, and took the New Yorker name in 1939 when more coupe versions and a two door sedan were added with a larger Imperial engine. The 1940 C26 series was the first to be a standalone model, with the first convertibles, Fluid Drive and an independent front suspension. The 1941 cars were lightly redesigned, and wartime halted production in February 1942. Its model years run from 1939 to 1942.
