The rarity is why I do my upmost to keep my 79 NYer (Doris) on the road...NOT very often one of these graces your path...the last of the great American road cruisers!
It certainly is a well-preserved survivor everything works runs and drives absolutely beautiful one pump turn the key starts up every time whether it's sitting a day or a month
I liked these. The R bodies had a lot of haters and didn’t sell well (as you note), but I found them attractive and still do. The rear doors are either unique or awkward, depending upon your perspective. Today this car looks huge but it was were obviously far smaller than the C body that preceded it. The M-body Fifth Avenue that followed could never hide its Valiant and Volaré roots.
1979-81 Chrysler R body. Not the best quality control but otherwise good looking cars. There was also a Dodge version called St Regis and for 1981 Plymouth Gran Fury. This is a nice example. Good luck.
I always liked these, particularly that instrument panel that gives so much passenger legroom. I wanted the Newport when these came out but I was a poor college student and couldn't afford it.
I had in 1979. I traded a 1969 Chrysler Imperial. I don't remember much about the car. It beeped on the sounds. Fond memories. I had power locks, and power truck in glove box.
This is my favorite model year for the Chrysler New Yorker as it looks so elegant. RU-vidr Bionic Disco has two commercials for this model year Chrysler New Yorker, just FYI. Though I have never seen one in person I can't imagine how comfy the seats are.
I find this car beautiful, except for the back doors. They look odd, but overall a nice looking car especially for the late mid 70s. I didn't know about this car until recently, they are very rare. I didn't know about the opera window light, very cool and interesting
The words "1979" and "Museum quality" should NEVER EVER be in the same sentence! Nothing built that year had ANY quality at all!! I know! I bought one!!!!!!!!!
There was no Imperial in 1979. I believe the last year for the Imperial was 1975, please do SOME research before you speak.Also sixteen thousand dollars for THIS? Good luck#
Yes we know that, the reference was if you listened was that the Imperial was the bigger car than the NY'r didn't specify model year, also learn the market on unrestored low mile survivors, you'll be surprised what they bring
