1977 Chrysler NewYorker Brougham

[retroolschool]

Yeah that was sweet! Reminded me of my Friends '74 Imperial Coupe. Car was original right down to the 8 tracks! Man we had one smooth ride back after a dube, some Elton John, Beatles, and other fitting 70s tunes! Too bad that Chrysler went west.

[dumpstermower]

"You know you want it." Damn right I want it. Oh, I want one!!!!! But, I can't afford it so I have to do the next best thing--watch videos and go for virtual "rides" in other cars. Thanks for the ride. That is one sweet car.

[beyondtheforest]

I used to own one. Mechanically, it was not a great car. It had constant electrical problems and the Lean Burn system was a poorly-engineered headache. However, it was a pleasure to drive and was stunningly beautiful. Mine was Golden Fawn.

[ckentrus]

Agreed, I had nothing but trouble with the lean burn system, engine timing was a disaster. Motor also had nylon timing gears, they would all eventually skip a tooth and have to be replaced with an iron set of gears.

[tomsriv]

The reminds me of the opening to the movie Duel.

@gleuszler

Haha thats why I stopped driving my grandaddys and retired it to the farm. I use it almost every weekend. Anywho I am such a cheap fucker I replaced it a month later after I got my license and got a hybrid and never bought another full gas vehicle again. LOL

[IncredableDrE]

I own the exact same car my dad stopped using it and bought a civic hybrid. I use it as my joy riding car on the farm and.

[xrmatrix]

Wheres Randy and Mr. Lahey lol. Really nice car man.

[ozone8902]

Mine had a burgundy vinyl roof and burgundy leather. Drove it anywhere! Took a road trip to Montreal, Canada in style and comfort!!!

[MrJayrock620]

nice man. not to many cars in general have a working 8 track

[TechnicalEvaluation]

Which is bigger- the hood or a queen size bed?

[Thunderchicken1997]

I agree with max. This is one of the most beautiful American cars EVER made.

I sold Chryslers in 1981 when the K Cars (reliant & Aries) first came out, and my demo wasn't ready yet. I was given my choice of ANY used car on the lot. I chose a '78 New Yorker Brougham, maroon, with maroon top & maroon leather interior. There was a button on the floor to change the radio station. 440 4 BBL engine. It sucked gas like it grew on trees. I loved it. Fantastic automobile. Better than some Rolls.

[aknabea]

About 21 ft long. We had the 2 dr. St. Regis Pkg 400 Lean Burn.

[durko83]

could this guy slam more doors, boot, hood and 8 track around, a bit hard on the equipment. i want it but not after this guy has boonted it.

[christopher9000p]

A friend of mine has one of these. His is brown.

[thoughtfinder]

Those seat designs were unique to Chrysler.

[SilvaTone2203]

MR LAHEY !

[SilvaTone2203]

[mowat440]

[NadrianATRS]

[takoma5]

[hullinger]

That looks like fine Corinthian leather, as Ricardo used to say.

[StephenB58]

The 400 V-8 is a bigger bore than a 440.

[deathkeeper5000]

[luckyth1rteen]

I know i want it

[JamesPriceJohnson]

[1979lincolncoupe]

[somewhatlongdong]

[bulliedog77]

I literally have the same car. Same color same year same interior.. I bought in 2003 for $800. It was my high school car. Alot of good memories... my buddies used to call the seats couches.. haha Thanks for the video.

[commanderwhite12]

[DerKack]

fuck you Lahey!!!

[cole3481596]

Nice car, it looks like Jim Lahey Chyrsler NewYorker from the TV show called "Trailer Park Boys".

[StephenB58]

For klavers: I don't think you understood me. Chrysler dropped the Imperial name. They then called what was really an Imperial, a New Yorker. What had been the New Yorker, they then called it a Newport. They moved their names around. Look at their '74 and '75 cars.

[StephenB58]

Actually, the car is an Imperial. In 1976, Chrysler dropped the "Imperial" name from their line, and from then on, called the "Imperial" a New Yorker. From then on, they called what was actually a New Yorker, the "Newport". The car in this video is really an Imperial.

[klavers]

The particular car in this clip isn't a Imperial.....look at the badges it reads newyorker on the front fender ,decklid and brougham on the C-pilar,and the imperial have his specific marker light on the rear fenders and the design of the rear window or backlight is different as New Yorker.

[gleuszler]

Gets about the same gas mileage as a Hummer H2!

[Vintagesansui800]

Does it have the 727 Torqueflite tranny?

[alcald2000]

I'm not sure about that. It has an automatic transmission.

[boobman383]

Yes, Vintage, all fullsized chryslers used the 727 trans. I have always been a fan of big chryslers and owned a few. Latest one is a 78 NY brougham 2 door that my son and I are restoring.

[maxwelljrdn]

In my opinion, these were the most beautiful cars ever made.

[themaytagrepairman]

@maxwelljrdn HELLO!!!!

[CMCHRYSLERVALIANT]

my God that car is bloody huge, yank tanks are the biggest cars in the world.

[Klottelitsch]

All time classic---I tell you what, these cars will become VERY valuable in the future--todays disposal cars suck completely--the old american muscle is something real and this here is very (!) sophisticated, even by european design standards,

[Klottelitsch]

This car is "The Loveboat" on wheels ;)

[Klottelitsch]

Jack Jones owned some of these cars he also sung the New Yorker commercials 1975

[strumem90]

Beautiful Cars! My Uncle owns a '77 Coupe. Thanks for the Vid!
