1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham
มุมมอง 32K11 ปีที่แล้ว
This is the first video of my 1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham I recently imported from the United States. Original 23,000 mile car. 440 and full of options. The plan is to use it for car shows while keeping the car as original as possible.

It might only be short but in summer when the big ships are in there is nothing else like it

Don't try and mix two kinds of cat food together if you have a fussy cat. They'll just go for the good stuff
Maine Coon Leaping
มุมมอง 45K16 ปีที่แล้ว
I taught my cat how to leap but I think it could have been a bad idea. She does it all the time now, if you are ready or not
My first new car!! Exact same colors, Augusta Green Sunfire Metallic! Mine had a nice gutless 400 cubic inch engine, no lean burn. Had countless defects and problems, kept it for 9 months, then traded it in on a new 79 Cadillac Coupe DeVille D'Elegance! Not as many problems and defects, but still garbage!!
I (used to) own a '77 New Yorker Brougham (high Miles, but IDENTICAL CAR)! "Wife" pounded it to scrap (this took a LOT of beating, though!) I MISS THIS GREAT CAR!
From an auction??? Crazy, wow. Nice condition this car! I'm sure the radio sounds good, but it looks like poop.
I own the twin of this car...same color, only 50 thousand miles but the 400, not the 440
I have got to say that car looks very nice and I bet you got a good deal on it.
Now that's a car
so where are lahey and randy ?
When girth was still king of the hill!!
So lush. Every car on the road now is black, white, grey, or silver. This was so rich and luxe.
Congratulations...you have the largest and heaviest New Yorker ever made. 19 ft. 3 in. long and 4800 lbs.
Probably the only reason it has 23K miles on it is because it never ran right. That LEAN BURN SYSTEM was a FARCE, completely AWFUL. My Mom had a BRAND NEW 1978 New Yorker Brougham, same color as this with green velour interior and a white padded vinyl top and sunroof. 2 door car. Never ran right. Eventually my Dad had that whole lean burn removed. The car back then on a good day would get 7 MPG. Somehow my Mom struggled with that car for 20 years and also didn't put many miles on it.
looks nice , wish i could have seen more of the interior
ok check for rust, car is from Cleveland Ohio.......otherwise known as the RUST BELT! but seriously , always did love MOPARS still do
It’s...GREEN!
Such a nice car but a horrible radio
I would love one of these
that is a fine yacht you got there
Beautiful car, from the waterfall grille to the cathedral taillamps. Great color too.
I found a black one here in Guam. Lots and lots of rust spots and holes. Poor thing looks like it's been sitting for a very long time. I think these cars deserve better care if you live on an island which is practically surrounded by salts in the air from the ocean. I didn't get a clear look on the miles, but the last year on the registration sticker indicated it was probably last used in 1996. It might be interesting to haggle with the owner about it. I'd love to have it for a passion project since I can't get my hands on a Lincoln Continental Mark III. This is close enough to body style.
Thanks for the tour! Love these old soot bombs. Cars have lost so much as the technology has evolved. They are safer, more efficient and durable these days but have become so generic in styling. Most are just variations on the same plastic jelly bean design. They have lost the sense of grace, strength and elegance that these luxury liners evoked. Interiors are overly complicated and blingy. Everything out there has to be about high performance and sporty styling these days. That's what Mustangs and Corvettes are for. I really miss the quiet, floaty ride and suspension that would make the roughest roads feel smooth as glass. The effortless power steering where you could turn that boat around with your pinky finger. The smooth acrylic steering wheels that felt so solid. Those big V-8's with 4 barrel carbs. I loved the sound of putting the pedal down when already at speed on the highway... The carb opening up, that deep quiet throaty sound way out there under that huge hood, the quiet but serious exhaust note and just sinking further back into the seat as it effortlessly got down to business. The little details like the front vent windows, recessed windshield wipers, that thick chrome cowl under the wipers, the elegant hood ornament, vinyl tops and wheel covers that were works of art. No cheap black plastic trim everywhere that fades in a year. Glad to see the survivors are being cared for and that so many folks still appreciate them. Thanks again for the tour.
Here here!!! The truth.
...man, that's a lot of green! beautiful car!
I didn't know it had a digital clock.
Mine also had one of the first digital radios!
No front and rear plastic inserts .
Beautiful!
my Dad had this one in Burgundy.. gorgeous car
Erika Schiegg my father had a Blue on blue 76.
Nice. We had a hold Imperial too. loved Chrysler
My favorite body-style: four-door hardtop, with the optional leather and vent windows.
lol old cars are always on E
I know that your comment is 3 years old, But starting in 1978 (the final year for this generation of New Yorker) Chrysler started using LED clocks. Prior to 1978, there clocks were traditional mechanical movements. They eventually wore out and stop working. Because these LEDs have no moving parts, they tend to last almost indefinitely. When I bought my 1976 new Yorker in 2009, the mechanical clock was no longer working, So I found an LED clock from a 1978 model and wired it into my 1976. It is completely silent, completely accurate, and will last the life of the car 🙂
the paint is bad. she needs polishing
I WANT IT!!!!
La mejor época de Chrysler muy buenos autos saludos desde Puebla México
I have same car, but coupe. A time capsule. Silent, powerful, Corinthian!
You'd better enjoy that before it turns into a pile of rust. Late '70s Chryslers were *notorious* for having horrific rust problems. I'm not joking either. They had to recall millions of them to replace quarter panels and fenders. If I were you, I'd keep it out of the rain!
...it's a 40 year old car man!!! what the fuck are you talking about??? Take a look on eBay and see how many of these are still around, and in excellent condition! Want to talk about horrific rust problems, look at mid 70's Fords and the class action suit behind it...and any GM equivalents, (Olds 98, Buick Electra's/Park Avenue's) are mostly long gone!
We had ours Ziebarted. It's probably still out there rust-free.
Very impressive, a fine example. I especially notice the condition of the leather . . . . and the well-above-average smoothness and quietness of the engine and exhaust. This is what a quality "boat" is supposed to look like, and sound like. It's great!
Got to get an original radio. Get one with an 8 track!
lum otaku Plenty of 8-track cassettes on eBay.
One of the best Imperials style wise ever designed. Those tufted leather seats alone, is worth the price.
itsmegp46 My dogs love the rich Corinthian leather. Fall asleep immediately.
that is a sin to put an animal on those leather seats!
itsmegp46 expect it’s NOT AN IMPERIAL!! That’s a New Yorker !!
John B what the f cos the matter with you? The leather cane from animals! Your not good enough to sit on them if you feel that way!
K. R. V. This body style started off as an Imperial. Then Chrysler dropped the name, made a number of standard features optional and presto, the New Yorker was reborn.
Beautiful New Yorker, good color too. Have you had any issues with the Lean Burn system?
You know it!!
Mr Lahey would be very jealous of this car
heres 100 for groceries, 1400 for liquor, and 6000 to bail our friends out of jail. take the car ran
The back seat is perfect for Jim and Randy to romp in.
Who?
ignatiusdemonseed, Lord, If I'd only had the chance back in the day.
You really lucked out to find this one.and yes they do look best the way they rolled off the assembly line. love that waterfall grill and slab sided fenders and rear quarter panels.
Beautiful car from top to bottom. I always did like that style.
Thanks. I plan to keep it as original as possible and have the original 8 Track to put in it but might try and find a factory CB instead
Damn fine car you have. To be honest this very model is always been my dream. One of the very last true american cars. Here in Finland these yorkers were used as limousines because true limos were not available. IMHO everything is perfect in your car except that radio. I would change it immediately! By the way I even like the color and that green upholstery.
that is a soft landing...*if u know what i mean
Someone commented: "that cat is going to kill you in your sleep... or at least try" We all have to *deal* with things in life. Just like people, he'll get over it . . .
@Spurogirl People don't train their cats... cats train their people.
WOW, that is a trusting cat!
@RTCruizer how did you teach him/her to leap?
@RTCruizer how did you teach her to leap?
fat cat are the cutest i swear rofl nice cat
lol, i have a maine con, but he would nomrally eat, sleep, and get attention, and he also likes to play with things that makes a rustly noise, like a brown paper bag. he also likes to try and steal the other cats treat when i am feeding them treats, he is crazy!
@MegaMouseSEC ROFL i totally understand what your on about, i have a 4mth old Main Coon boy and thats all he does is lay on the top of the couch and eat. and if im not up early enough in the morning he comes and nibbles my fingers and nose to let me know its food time lol
