1973 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham cold start

August 2010 : 1973 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham cold start. This 4 door hardtop is rust free.

I didn't have time to say that Mr & Mrs Poetz, the original owners of the car, first owned a 1936 Plymouth, then a 1950 Plymouth, a 1959 DeSoto, and finally the 1973 Chrysler. They worked their way up the Chrysler Corporation ladder of makes and models, just as Walter Percy Chrysler had intended.

The starter sound was known as the "Highland Park Warbler."

@6:30 LMAO. I say leave the bug shield on it since it's era correct (as an accessory goes) it was probably installed by the original owner and it actually serves a purpose. I know, most would disagree..this guy should see if Hemming's Classic Car would like to run a story using 1 or all of this collection. They favor these otherwise not-so-hot sedans as the whole publication is devoted to this segment of the collector market.

Beautiful C body. Keep her dry and mint but please lose the bug shield on the front. Check out my 74 Fury sometime.

....and yes, the starter sounds normal.

Both are nice cars. That was back when many color choices were available, wheelbases were long, interiors were plush, and chrome was abundant.

I had a forest green one with matching vinyl top. But mine had a thick steering wheel with a rim-blow horn, tilt and telescopic. Automatic climate control that worked perfectly with cold air conditioning. There was a recall on the air conditioning for these cars that had not been honored when I bought the car, but the notice was in the glove box. I took it to the dealership, and they promptly fixed the problem. Delightful automobile.

Wow, what a collection of '70's luxury automobiles. Most impressive. I must disagree with your commnet about Chrysler starters however. I was raised on Chrysler Corp. vehicles. The first car I can remember in my family was a '62 Dodge Dart 330 Wagon. That was traded for a '65 Plymouth Fury III, then a '67 Chrysler New Yorker was added to the fleet. The noise you describe as "painful" is music to my ears. Thanks for sharing your collection. '

I miss the big Chryslers. Of the big Chryslers, I've had a '63 300 4 Door Hardtop (I didn't know that they made a non-letter 300 in '63 until I found that one), a '70 Newport, a '75 Newport, and an honorable mention of a '75 Dodge Monaco (the only smallblock of the giant bunch). I totally miss that chassis, and have kicked myself for getting rid of the '63 about a million times. Those cars were powerful, easy to drive, and fuel efficient for their size, and weight (average 18 mpg for the bunch).

@nemoviesnews Back in the day Chrysler was the only American car that had the reduction starter. Now all American cars use some form of reduction starter. Gotta love Chrysler.
