Years ago cars had so many exterior and interior colors. That is because most cars were made to order, and you had to wait 6-8 weeks to get your new car. Today mist cars are bought off the dealership’s lot, so they limit color choices.
1977 was the year I got my license to drive. Today these cars draw attention as massive dinosaurs, back then they were just regular cars. Many of my friend's parents had big cars with big block V8s, whichmeant smoky burnouts to us 16 years old kids.
This was my favorite car as a kid. Ours was a lighter “Fern” green with a darker green vinyl top. It had a tufted velour interior. We bought it new in Spring 77 when I was 12, my sister 8. We went on a 3 week driving trip that summer. I thought I’d gone to heaven!
Didn't you think back then at 12 (and so did the neighbors) that you were riding in something special? A family down the road bought a '78 two door New Yorker brougham that was as loaded as loaded could be. Triple gray, chrome rings around the wheels, padded landau roof, gigantic moonroof. The car was stunning. Better looking than the just shrunk Cadillacs of '77. Thanks for sharing that memory.
I had a '75 Imperial, twin to this car...dark blue with blue velour pillowed interior, and a factory sunroof. the biggest difference was 4 wheel disc brakes, which the NY did not have. awesome handling car. these were great looking road cars, and the last full size Chrysler...such a delight to drive down the road. must make quite a statement in Norway!
She's a beauty! I had an extremely low mileage '78 Brougham sedan for a time... Dove Grey with matching leather and a Silver vinyl top. I miss that car! I aced the Lean Burn setup and replaced it with a Demon Thermoquad... Gutted the Catalytic Converter and put an aftermarket "HEI" distributor in it... Ran like a Champ and got about 15mpg in town and almost 30 on the Highway!
Good. Just discovered this channel and I'm impressed that you went for maximum image quality. Too many channels are mundane when it comes to resolution. But you my friend look magnificent with your 2160p60 in truly shimmering 4k.
Awesome video!!! ... i remember my folks having a car like this as our nice family car/vacation car during the 1980s. i believed my father and mother purchased it when it was a few years old (like 2 or 3) i don't remember much except that it was nice, big and roomy... and very cold in the summer and warm in the winter months. :)... ours was a maroon/dark red color 4 door model. :)
you had me until 4:03 - darn birds! Kidding - gorgeous vehicle. One of the largest cars I ever rode in as a kid. The seats put any luxury sofa to shame. What would it cost to produce or buy something like this today? thanks for sharing this memory!
A very green car, but not what we think of as a "green car" today. :-) I see the infamous Chrysler ballast resistor on the firewall. Curious to know where this was filmed. I have never seen a license plate like that in my travels.
I bought a 1977 New Yorker Brougham in the early 80s. I absolutely loved everything about the car. It had alot of options. Tilt + telescopic steering wheel,a great AC,power windows,power seats,power door locks power trunk release,hideaway headlights,and a foot operated radio switch. ( GM calls it wonderbar.) The iterior was awesome. Burgundy colored plush velour.The exterior color was Silver with a Burgundy colored Landau roof. It ran great for about 3 years then all of a sudden it started to load up and backfire. No one could figure out why. Any answers??
Chrysler was on the skids at this point. The dashboard is almost identical to that of my first company car - a 1977 Plymouth Fury. You could fit a K-Car in the trunk of the New Yorker. Is that a restoration or a beautifully preserved survivor? Thanks
It's actually a completely different dash board. They used a modular approach. The Dodge and Plymouth were identical, but Chrysler and Imperial are completely different. It uses the same radios and clocks and some component sharing, but the placement and style and padding is very different and won't interchange with a Plymouth or Dodge
I love how old american cars had colorful interiors

My dad had a ‘78 with the three tone velour. Such a quiet and comfy car.

@@douglasb.1203 I thought it was like having (in my impressionable mind) a Rolls Royce, it was the most amazing car!!
official Trailer Park Supervisor vehicle

It was available as an extra cost option on the New Yorker, just not standard equipment like the prior Imperials
MY GOD!! That interior🤗🤗
Is better than my home than my home living room
Nostalgia: Chrysler that I would buy. Old school.
She's a beauty!

I remember that i saw this car and it was BEAUTIFUL. Congrats for the 56 Imperial bro!
Supercar Specials74 thanks man😇❤️
Had a VERY USED '77 New Yorker that was the spittin' image of this vehicle! IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Thank you so much, and thanks for watching:)
Mr Fearon, exactly, well said
your videos are great. I always go to classic car shows here in NJ
The companies had many more colors on their pallets than they do as we speak. It seems all you see today are subtle shades of grey!
Beautiful video and a stunning New Yorker. Those seats look extremely comfortable.

Beautiful New Yorker that looks like an Imperial 😊

Hi, yeah they are annoying! Thanks for watching!
Lots of rear seat room for the goons and the mark.
Lots of trunk space to put the dead mark, shovels or anchor chain, and gloves.
Fuhgeddiboutit.

Possibly Belgium?

a guy named Ricky who lives in the Sunnyvale trailer park drives this
I used to have a '77 Dodge Royal Monaco Brougham and it was _so_ similar to this. Wasn't a hardtop though.
Grandpa had one of these beauts....damn fine automobile
Nice Car!! What is the music ?

A lovely car.
I own the exact car with a green vinyl top. They ride as good as it looks
Wow just look at those door and kick panels!! Looks literally factory fresh. How many miles are on the clock?? Talk about a pure time capsule
AWESOME CAR!
That thing is mint!
It’s sad to se it go😔. I saw your Imperial on Instagram though...Have you swapped it? Anyways GREAT VIDEO!
Always wanted a car with a deep green interior. Sigh....
That’s a big boat
Did it still have the leanburn?
Why can’t design like this quality again??
Gorgeous car!!!
SUPERBE !
Who made who Lincoln or Chrysler
What song?
Stll enjoying this video. A gorgeous car.
Same year and model as Mr. Lahey’s in the same colour as Ricky’s 1975.
.................. AND it has the optional-but-very desirable front VENT windows!!!
Las parrillas dan la visión alas torres gemelas por eso el.nombre me imagino
