Well you are one of those, whose camera work makes the watchers sea sick.

EXEPT for being a "jizzed" Newport (an ALRIGHT car) These were NOT "classic", but they were GREAT "rides"!

How can I forget this car?

He gave his car a name. 'Nuff said.

An old neighbor of mine had one of these, and I had a ride in it. The ride was real spooky quiet, if my memory serves me right!

Do you still have the car?

Do you still own this, and is it for sale by any chance?

these things put chrysler into bankruptcy

Lean Burn Computer works ?

Those were the days when you could buy a real car

I love the car I had a 1993 Chrysler New Yorker I sold it and got a 1975 Mercury Montego the Mercury's name is Linda LOL

I’m in love.

I have Wanda's Nightwatch Blue New Yorker Fifth Ave. cousin from 1980, Maude. Just found out I was part of the rare car club!

down sized but huge by todays standards

My dad bought this in 1979. Came with wire wheels and super wide white walls. Was borrowed for weddings quite a few times.

I drove my New Yorker into the back of a transit bus back in 1991 and totaled it.

The music is a perfect complement to the video. Great car!

I really love these R-Body cars made by Chrysler. It's a shame that you don't see too many of these anymore. 1979 was the year that Chrysler went almost out of business due to bankruptcy and that's when Lee Iacocca came along and served as President and CEO of Chrysler after being fired from Ford on July 13, 1978 after nearly 32 years of working for Ford.

What a perfect theme song for this ad.......Odyssey- Native NewYorker- 1979

My first all the way sex was in her mothers Midnight Blue 80 NYer. I believe the 2nd time was in her dads Lil Red Express...they both worked at Trenton Engine.

Wow, filthy with rough paint. Plus, I don't think those wheels were available in 1981. Not willing to clean it up before showing it? Makes one wonder....

love it thanks for posting xx

nice!

..my uncle had a '79 newport 4dr, 318, light gray, in AZ. i was likely going to buy it & drive it up to wi for a fun summer cruiser about 1990 with a 100k on it, super clean car..but some knucklehead hit him head on in a pickup & totalled it! R body was a great car.

lol you named her good show my first car was just like your wanda minus the sun roof she had wire hub caps the very same color local body shop called it cream 1 and cream 2 hope that helps I called her Lisa 360 cu inch motor 2 barrel carb she gets about 25 mpg cruising a lot less if you have a heavy foot you will get even better miles out of her if you treat her to some Mavel Msyster oil in the gas with every fill up you may have to have the tranmission rebuilt some time in her life other wise maybe one starter and an altator that motor will not quit if you treat her right enjoy her

If memory serves, this is the Champagne edition based on the two-tone paint scheme. Very nice piece of history here. I remember seeing one of these in a dealership in '79 and it suffered from so much of what almost bankrupted Chrysler - lousy quality. The seat tracks were loose on the driver's side and so many other clear examples of a bunch of assembly line workers who literally had zero interest in giving a darn. I love these cars, though. Very nice and thank you for sharing. Good job on the video, too!

What a beautiful car! NIce music too.

lol the music though!!!

Dude, I wish I had an old Chrysler like this

Ausum kar! Du yu stil hâv it? Ðeez þingz ar super rær ðeez dæz.

I had a chance to buy a very nice one of these: a one-owner (elderly woman who couldn't drive anymore), dark blue w/ nice dark blue leather... AND sunroof..... for a very reasonable price. I sort of still kick myself.

one of my Uncle's had one just like it! he was a Ford man for many years! after owning a Mopar he switched. :)

Saw one of these as a Police Captain's car n the 1981 Munsters reunion movie. A car like this I could see as a chief or commissioner's unit

I just found and bought a '79..not a Fifth Ave. model but very nice with button tuft leather seats and 360 V-8..I tossed the 2 bbl carb and stock intake and had my mechanic install an Edelbrock 4 bbl and performance intake and duel exhaust with flowmasters..sounds wonderful! This is a car from Ark. and has 64,005 miles on her!The paint (brown) had faded from sitting out side but I know a guy that did a wonderful job of bringing her back inside and out..NO rust on this car ever! Going to be my everyday summer driver!By the way..I named her "Doris"...

my mom had a 1981 white w/ navy blue interior New Yorker. it was the most beautiful car ever. she bought of the showroom floor in '81 and kept it 10 years. wonderful car. I miss it.

Gorgeous seats. Love the slanted dash in these. Something cozy and homey about it. At least thats what I found to be in my 81 imperial.

Is the sunroof aftermarket or factory?

Beautiful car and great music.

I literally grew up in one of these. same color and year as this with original spoke wheels. My father literally kept it till the doors wouldn't close anymore from rust. got rid of in back in 97 and ive missed it ever since. Especially the smell. She had an old car smell like no other. Now we have a mint condition 94 lhs.

There was an 81 version of the New Yorker Fifth Ave in tu-tone Mahogany that was stunning. Too bad they weren't better built and better sellers.

Thanks 4 that video, i had one of this car when i lived in the US, what a good memory !! I wish if i have one again here in Chile. Thanks again

song is native new yorker played song in my 79 new yorker back then great cars

Back in the day, my Dad traded cars every year. He had Cordova's until 1980 and he bought a New Yorker Brougham, metallic Black with Ivory leather interior, fully loaded, save for a moon roof. Great sounding stereo with Dolby noise reduction on the cassette and auto reverse. He just LOVED that car, and drove it until it basically fell apart. I remember the day he brought it home. It had, like, 12 miles on it and had that beautiful "new car smell". I really like your '79, especially since it's a 2 tone paint. Why don't we have 2 tone cars anymore? They were really classy. Great car & great video.

damn thats beautiful. i would love to find a car w/ that body type. but i do have a 1976 dodge monaco! i love it

Very nice! I know your car from Allpar. I have Wanda's brother, a 250,000 mile plus 1979 Dodge St. Regis, I've been doing some work to it and among other things got the headlight doors working again. Hope to resume body work this spring. R-bodies are underappreciated, I've had mine 19 years.

You obviously love this car which is just great ... take care of her! However, she would be so much happier with correct WHITEWALL tires! WSW forever!! Cheers and peace ... JJ

Comparable to a cadillac of the day. I see Chrysler kept that awful ugly slanted 70s dash on into the K cars & later acclaim/spirit. I guess they finally did a real redesign when they made the breeze-stratus 20+ yrs later! Shame on em.

Not much, truthfully. It's the best - and worst - thing about these cars. If you find one in AMAZING condition (a 2+, or 1-) it'll be worth, at most, $5K. Maybe $6K if it's super low miles. And prices just go down from there. But to love these cars is to do it more more than just money. ;)

I have a car just like this I was wandering how much is it worth

Beautiful car!!!
