Welcome back! This is a beautiful Chrysler. It breaks my heart what Tavares and Stellantis has done to the Chrysler brand. Love your weather reactions.
We had a 90 dodge dynasty, fully loaded with the V6!! Had it for over 14 years and gave it to our 18 year old nephew who promptly drove it into a telephone pole a couple of months later!! They were so comfortable and my wife loved driving it on long trips!! Loved the style for that time !! Mechanic told me that for the dodge dynasty the motors were bought from Mitsubishi motors !! They lasted a long time , the only thing we had to have done was rebuild the transmission at around 130 k !!! Thanks for the memories, great video!!
My grandparents had a 85 and 94 New Yorker. The 85 went 304,000 and the 94 was at 200,000 when we sold it after they both Passed. They were good cars except for the horrible headlights on the 94. Those seats were so comfortable on a long road trip. I Miss those days.
I just love what Chrysler was able to create from the lowly Reliant and Aries K cars. I'm still impressed. I would love to find the Imperial version of this Fifth Avenue. All I need is a place to park it.
While they are K-derivatives, they are greatly improved and strengthened in structure - the post-A(AA) bodies (think 89-90+) are (dare I say) well-built. Lower-front control arms went from stamped steel with a stub, to dual-hinged cast aluminum, minimizing or eliminating caster changes - the wheels stayed put - not moving backward under-center while braking. They are good. The 3.3/3.8 are FANTASTIC pushrod engines. They do not die. They are not Mitsus. The **only weak point is the a604's - which, are easy and cheap enough to rebuild in your garage with stronger hard-parts.
They went the wrong way with it. The luxury thing was wrong for this platform. I guess they could have done the luxury in a different way, but this example is a miss-match of styles.
I’m a huge fan of old Chryslers and I’ve owned several of them from my 70 Imperial, 72 New Yorker, 75 Cordoba, 73& 75 Dart , 2 76 New Yorkers , 82 Imperial and a 83 Plymouth K car I bought for my daughter. I’ve also owned 4 Ram Trucks and have had wonderful experiences with all my Mopars. The last one I owned was a 2015 Charger. I had one of these for a rental car back in the day and it was so comfortable with those seats that just felt like a sofa
Had a '91 New Yorker 5th Avenue. Total Old Man's car, absolutely loved it. Would get shit from everyone till they got in.... "Chrysler, fine Corinthian leather..." Ricardo
Watching from the State of Rhode Island-that thing is a fascinating case study of transition in manufacturing and psychology in America in 1993-such an interesting time capsule from this perspective-& entirely deserves recognition-& to be saved-on that basis alone-you so hit the nail on the head. Peace!
You're using hard drugs. Chrysler hasn't been shit in 50 years. Nothing but one fumble and POS after another. It's a miserable loser brand that really is totally irrelevant today. The junker in this video is one of the many reasons why they're literally just a badge today.
You seriously underrate this car. I had 6 NY 5th's (1 R body, 3 M's, 1 Dynasty-based NY Landau and 1 just like this one in charcoal grey. Loved them all. This K-based generation was a very well-tailored car in and out and did have quality materials that held up very well over time. They were extremely comfortable & roomy with all the high-line toys offered at the time. If you look at the late 80's to early 90's Olds 98, Buick Park Ave, Cadillac DeVille or Pontiac Bonneville of the same era (which were all kinda fluffed up versions of the Olds Ciera or Buick Century), these had them bested by a mile in my opinion.
"Old guys like that stuff...". I'd read somewhere that this was exactly what Iacocca said about these cars. When this was new, I'd have had little to no interest. Since I'd have been game for a Electra T-Type or Park Avenue Ultra, it boils down to a matter of styling language. But its appeal went beyond old guys, apparently. During one of my ill-advised attempts to sell cars for a living, a young couple (meaning younger than I was and I hadn't reached 30) came in with a blue New Yorker Fifth Avenue. They wanted to buy the car, which was leased to the Admiral he was driving for, at the end of the lease. There were reasons that we couldn't pull this off, his lack of credit history being the least of them. Great to see you back at it!
Yes, it was old fashioned for 1993 but this was the last gasp of uniquely "Americana" cars before it all went to cloning Japanese and European cars, and I miss it!
@@mopargm9329 I bought a 1984 new. The only thing was the Jap 2.6 gave me problems down the road. (Your engine oil pressure is low. Prompt service is required)
I had a 1992 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue that has that exact body style. Same engine, same dashboard. My interior has plush velveted velour seats. The trunk was big enough for my brother's wheelchair to fit in. My friends used to call it the "Mini-Limo". One of the best and reliable car I ever owned. I eventually gave it to my nephew when I bought my present car, the 1997 Lincoln Town Car Signature.
The tambre of that "CLINNNNGGGGGG" when you dropped the hood brought back youthful memories of my first car. A Chrysler K-Car variant of the same vintage.
Wow, yet another great Bill video! You’re back with a vengeance! Glad to have the new content. I know it’s a pain in the ass! But we love it. Thank you Bill!
The K platform was genius. It was simple yet endlessly expandable, shrinkable, able to be widened, heightened and with tweeks like sway bars, various set ups of spring rates, shocks etc. it could be anything. This car has the same bones as the Daytona which is amazing. I own a 1990 Daytona and I love it. I have owned a 1985 Laser (same K platform), 1988 Dodge Dynasty, 1990 Plymouth Sundance, 1991 Plymouth Voyager with that same 3,3L V6, all on different incarnations of the K platform. That platform could literally do anything including all wheel drive. There hasn't been anything like it since except *maybe* the Mercedes platform that underpinned everything from the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango, Dodge Charger, Challenger, Chrysler 300 and all with the option of AMD. That New Yorker is a gorgeous car.
I worked for Execucar a division of Supershuttle in LA in the early 90s and I evaluated this car for livery duty. I liked the car, but it was no match for the Grand Marquis we eventually purchased
My grandfather had the imperial version of this car. I was always surprised by how nice it was and drove - especially as I understood it was a kcar underneath! Thank you for doing this review!
I had a 1992 Imperial, Mom had a 1991 Fifth Avenue. The differences between them are mostly cosmetic, except the Imperial never got a sunroof for some reason which led to the Fifth Avenue selling better. They didn't differentiate them enough.
As a Filipino, I wasn't even born yet, back then my dad in the US had his first car was a Ford, next a 2 door Olds 98 and a Chevy Suburban Wagon and in the 1990s was a Rental Dust buster van to having a black Ford econoline in Maple valley Seattle and lastly I dont remember... and Also Family Friends have a Renault 8 and Red Chevy Nova in the Philippines too! its very cool to see these Old Running Chryslers around! I love it Also Bill is the Greatest!
...Tryin' their dingily-dangest to make a Kleenex box "aerodynamic"... It is- right off the showroom floor. Amazing, and a joy to behold, as much as we joke. It is a miracle, and really is a museum piece!
I worked for one of the major car rental companies that were owned by Chrysler at the time, and every summer, we would get a bunch of new Chryslers. Had all kinds of problems with them, including airbags going off by themselves on their first rentals and two of these Fifth Avenues losing motors within a couple of rentals (yes, they had oil in them). Also, they didn't have a good fit and finish in the ones we got, as they would start rattling the moment they came off the delivery truck.
I Love you Bill. I cant believe I made it without you all the months you were MIA. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE keep brining us this old Mom and Pop Beautiful American Cars.....these were great cars even though yes they were nice K Cars I think. ha ha ha ha
In 1993 I worked for an executive car service in Washington DC (long before Uber) and we used the New Yorker exclusively. Carried a lot of lobbyists and congressmen around town back in those days, all in the dark blue, velour interior, Chrysler New Yorker.
They were great 'company cars' I got a lease allowance for my job. It was nowhere near a 6 seater haha, and when you looked at it from a distance it was 80% size of the Cadillac I got next. Great review as always!
Those were good looking cars at the time! Still are. My mom bought a 99' Chrysler Concorde LXi it was comfortable & dependable with a 6cyl. that kept up! That body style has still stood the test of time. I miss those design days! 😃👏🏼
Great to see you back at it again, Bill! You have such a way with words. SO much so that I'm sure you probably have another way of saying "you have such a way with words." Anyway, enough of my failed attempt at wordsmithing.... I'd bought a used '90 New Yorker in '94 and I felt pretty special driving that thing for my first few weeks. That's how long the car took to finally attack me with clouds of smoke wafting from the exhaust as I sat in a McDonald's drive-thru. With no internet to research back then, I had to go see a mechanic AFTER I'd bought it to discover that those early V6 engines had chronic problems with leaking valve guides...even before hitting 50,000 miles.
@@piggy310 interior held up ok. But it was up north. The mirror broke, the antenna. Fixing anything wasnt simple like a honda. It rode nice. The seats were the best
Bill…haven’t even watched the video yet, but growing up…this was a car I envied. Didn’t know anything about the mechanics or anything technical. Specifically drooled over the styling & the light covers.
I feel like this car came with an AARP application, a Dinners Club card, and a 401k withdrawal form from Chrysler new. Maybe throw in a boater hat as a promotional giveaway
I can just imagine Bill giving a toast at a wedding….”I don’t know why they’ve asked me to speak, I don’t even particularly like them…” 😂 Also, the Gilligan's Island references never get old.
“The groom is the second worse person in the world, and I think I slept with the bride once in high school”….would be what I would expect to hear in his toast.
I guess these were not a bad vehicle. I’m personally not a fan of these stretched K cars. I did own several K cars back in the day and got good service from them. I always liked the New Yorkers from the 60s and 70s.
My good bud in high school had one of these. It was his first car, a 1991. It was the boxier styling. Which imo, was more tasteful than the smoothing out they did here. His also had the wire wheel covers which look much better than those Lebaron style alloys. I want to say his had the 3.8. It was white with the burgundy interior. We put a pretty bad ass stereo system in it.
I bought a 1990 New Yorker Landau back when it was almost new. I mostly agree with what Bill says here. Even though it floated down the Boulevard like a dream, it definitely wasn't a true American luxury car. Aside from that, the reliability issues I experienced made the car a genuine nightmare to own, so the local towing company got to know me on a first name basis. There's little wonder you don't see many of these around anymore. They were something of a nothingburger in every sense of the term.
That thing is gorgeous. It still has the square 80s look with softened corners. It works for me. The blue looks just right and dash is classy without being garish -not that I mind a bit. Was surprised at the analogue instruments.
My 93 had almost 190k miles on it before the rear end rusted out and got dangerous to drive (midwest car).... the build quality and fit and finish was actually surprisingly decent on the interior. Things held up pretty good, with the exception of the faux wood which was just glued on. Those pieces would just fall out, eventually. You can just glue them back in, though. Not a big deal.
Hey Billy-Boy, the crew over loves the headlight drill at the start. If possible, RETURN to the last phase of your introduction where you peel-out on Peter's driveway and lock ^UP,^ the brakes at the wrought iron gates. Always complete your patented intro.

Chrysler needs to be an independent company to bring back to its glory.
Chrysler should stop focusing on Hellcats and Demons, and go back to normality.
CDJR just needs to get the hell out of business. They’ve been trying it since the 1980s. Get it over with.

There's little wonder you don't see many of these around anymore. They were something of a nothingburger in every sense of the term.
My dad had all three the same exact ones crazy! Good old Rusty Jones.The 89 had problems .
That thing is gorgeous. It still has the square 80s look with softened corners. It works for me.
The blue looks just right and dash is classy without being garish -not that I mind a bit.
Was surprised at the analogue instruments.
My 93 had almost 190k miles on it before the rear end rusted out and got dangerous to drive (midwest car).... the build quality and fit and finish was actually surprisingly decent on the interior. Things held up pretty good, with the exception of the faux wood which was just glued on. Those pieces would just fall out, eventually. You can just glue them back in, though. Not a big deal.
Hey Billy-Boy, the crew over loves the headlight drill at the start. If possible, RETURN to the last phase of your introduction where you peel-out on Peter's driveway and lock ^UP,^ the brakes at the wrought iron gates. Always complete your patented intro. NO other car Y-Ter does that maneuver. Many Thanks Booby ! 🔜. ⚡ 🚘. ⚡. 👏
Thanks for another epic review, Bill. That is definitely not a Fifth Avenue. Perhaps a 7th Street, but not Fifth Avenue.
I’ve never liked Chrysler/ Dodge but this Fifth Avenue is a very beautiful car.
I think that engine is still in the RAM in 2025😂
