@RickinFLA07 I owned a 1972 Chrysler New Yorker for 5 years (and would still have it had I not run the PISS out of it, but, what did I know, I was 17 when I bought it and thought it was cool back then to drive like a bat outta hell, but, hey with a 440 4-barrel, that's what was expected of you LOL) and I agree, it ran circles around GM and Ford! The only car that was faster than my Chrysler was a 1970 Buick Skylark, and that's only because it had a 455 4 barrel !

@TheEldweebo ...... then apparently your family was too cheap to buy anything but the cheapest models of American-made cars! MY family has ALWAYS bought great American made cars starting in the 1950s right up to present day when I bought a 2009 Mercury Grand Marqius. Every single car we've owed was a DREAM, not like that FOREIGN trash that's only made for short near-sighted JAPS !

@Embargoman

Amen.

I love cars like this, hope to own atleast one in my lifetime.

Quite a car in its day.  Not made for handling, just long straight roads. Did they say unitized body?

i learned to drive in a new 1969 LTD...needless to say, i took the driver's test in a smaller car!!!

@way2muchsense ...And if you don't like it, you go for the Japanese or German cars.

but i think it's about the big picture. i'd take an old ltd over some electric shavers (audis and priuses etc) any day.

Just don't look too closely at the poor fit between body panels, such as at 1:17. You'll notice that the side trim doesn't quite line up between the door and the rear quarter panel.

@2000cinders Well ife biringin it back after its years of abscense its going to be better built but its not made in America but its produced in Canada better built than their American made counterparts !

[Embargoman]

@LAmonk76 Yep they where also made in New Jersey Mauwah and Edison, as they say nothing is made in the US well for the thought of bringing this car back then it will not be made in the US anymore this time when it comes back it will be Made in Camada.

@Embargoman Amen brotha! My 74 LTD was made in Los Angeles and am proud to drive so.
