Chrysler New Yorker 1969-73
A new generation New Yorker was launched in 1969, more rounded than the outgoing generation square look. Its sides bowed out in a style called the 'fueslage look', which did have a horizontal line below the beltline until the 1972 reskin. The new style was shared with the lowly Newport and the top range Imperial. A 7.2-litre Wedge V8 (from the Dodge Charger) powered the New Yorkers. Confusingly the Chrysler Newport offered the same shells, albeit with a convertible option and both 4-door hardtops and sedans.
