In 1977, my father had a 1977 New Yorker. Of all the cars he had, this was my favorite. It was a 2-door, exterior all white, the interior was white leather seats with a red dashboard, seat belts, & rug. I forgot how nice the dash looked at night. I miss that car.
Ah memories. A friend had one like this in college. I can remember being out on back roads and he'd punch it, and we'd watch the fuel gauge needle slowly fall LOL!
It’s sad that the American classic boulevard riding cars with pillow top style seats are going the way with the dodo. Now everyone wants a luxury car that can go 0-60 in 2 seconds. All while being able to make phone calls sip on a coffee And charge a ton of smart phones and still get 40 mpg. It’s ashamed, gone is the days of the V-8’s and sofa like ride. I myself bought a 91’ Chrysler New Yorker. The last of that breed as a daily driver.
After 73 all cars had to be smogged which robbed you of power and added a whole new set of problems under the hood. That's why you would see a lot of these cars broken down on the side of the freeway back in the 70s. If you have one today you'd be better off swapping a modern engine under the hoot. An SRT engine would work well with this car. If you have an old Lincoln than drop in a Coyote.
Yeah it’s a shame people want cars to be fun, practical, useful, and efficient. I hate how that gets in the way of driving a boat with the engine the size of the Empire State but the power of a ladybug
@@danc1197 Dude the smog stuff isn't an issue. I daily a '79 Lincoln and never have issues with it. It's actually my most reliable vehicle. And before that I drove an '85 Cadillac. Never had issues with that car other than electrical problems.
Folks complain about exhaust note ... should hear my 57 300 Chrysler . 3 inch factory pipes factory mufflers at 90 mph sweet rumble And my 66 Imperial crown coupe has factory mufflers duals only throaty at 60 + .. my 70 and 76 Imperial same you can't tame a 440 High restriction in exhaust just to have quiet will cause pinging .. duals no cats free flow with mid range mufflers good to keep car cool And 93 octane fuel car won't ping .. GM Cadillac buick worst to ping on single exhaust .. let them breathe
I had a 77 New Yorker hardtop, bought in the 90s as a daily driver, that I loved. White outside, brown pillowy leather inside, and other than some Lean Burn issues, quite reliable. Rust showed up (Ohio) and I traded it in on a new 1998 Intrepid.
Nice video. My grandparents always had New Yorkers in baby blue and white. They lived in a small town and would let me drive them when I only 13 or 14 years old.
My grandparents bought a burgundy colored New Yorker Brougham,brand new in 1977. It was a lovely car,with the softest leather interior I have ever known. It's comfort was unique, no matter if you were in the front seat or back. I have always been partial to GM products, but the Chrysler New Yorker was every bit as good if not better than Cadillac by GM , or the Lincoln Continental by Ford. My grandfather died about a year after buying it,and my grandmother kept it until 1988. She traded it off for a new Chevy sedan, but that old Chrysler still had the new car smell after 11 years. I was sad to see it go.
My parents had one of these cars and never drove it much, they traded it in back in 1990 and it was still in good condition, no rust given the amount of snow here in SW Ohio during those years.
Why do people put those stupid loud mufflers on a luxury car I'll never understand it's not supposed to be able to hear the rumble of the engine it's a luxury car it's not a Corvette or Camaro it's a New Yorker it is supposed to be quiet damn it quiet don't anybody understand LOL
I’m glad I’m not the only one this bothers!! These types of cars, Lincoln’s imperials Cadillacs , New Yorkers , LeSabre, Olds 98 etc should be seen NOT HEARD!! That was a great part of their superiority that they were engineered to be QUIET!!!!! But to each his / her own
1970s America, I was fortunate to participate in the lifestyle and the culture, it's another time, another age, might as well be another planet.

Freaking beauty! Those big old cruise ships are some of my favorites!

Loved this!!! Brings back memories of my 76 Newport custom,,,the speedometer especially
I remember test driving a new 77 New Yorker white with red leather interior.
It had a floor button next to the brake that changed the radio stations.
imagine living back in the 1970s and just crusining around in this thing when its brand new.... I can't even imagine
Big 440!

Wow just amazing and my friend has a 1971. I like yours better because the speed odometer looks brighter.
I drive my 1977 NYB every day. Glad to see your ol' gal is still burning octane
what a hearth warming view..I wanna be on the driver's seat..
I had a 77 New Yorker. It was beige with a tan colored interior.
Love these 1974 - 1978 full size Mopars....
My favorite luxury car of all time
My father had a silver with red interior 😍
I like the color of the speedometer it is peasing to the eyes at night.
Hermoso elegante y distinguido

This may sound dumb but I’ve always loved 70-90’s gauges mostly because of the lighting. It looked like each instrument was its only little lit room.
Very cool!!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I dont even like screaming muscle cars.
Yeah I noticed the exhaust noise too. Uncharacteristic to the car but the engine does sound good thru it.

@@jakereal3604 Again you are absolutely right Jake !
Dopest fuckin dash ive ever seen
Is this the 7.2 or 8.5?
And what is the actual color of the instrument cluster backlight? Like at 0:01 or at 0:54?
Does vit still have the leanburn?
Nice
That sounds like after market exhaust. What is it?
How’s it drive
The speed limit is 35 on that road.
It might be a visual effect from the whole street scene but I was under the impression your speedo maybe reads too high?
I had a '78, and I LOVED it! But putting gas in it will bankrupt you!
Is this straight piped or cammed?
9 mpgs

It doesn't change gears? Is it CVT? 😂😂😂

Звук волшебный сейчас такие не делают, у меня 300м 2002 года
1977, and the gauge is led?
yep thats not the original illumination too bright and too blue
There was a LED light that would come on if the gas tank was too low.
