Chrysler New YorkerFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chrysler New Yorker is an automobile model

which was produced by Chrysler from 1940 to 1996,

serving for several years as the brand's flagship model. A

trim level named the "New York Special" first appeared

in 1938 and the "New Yorker" name debuted in 1939.

Until its discontinuation in 1996, the New Yorker had

made its mark as the longest running American car

nameplate.

The New Yorker name helped define the Chrysler brand

as a maker of upscale models priced and equipped above

mainstream brands like Ford, Chevrolet/Pontiac, and

Dodge/Plymouth, but below full luxury brands like

Cadillac, Lincoln and Packard. During the New Yorker's

tenure, it competed against upper level models fromBuick, Oldsmobile and Mercury.

1941 Chrysler New Yorker

Convertible Coupé

298.7 CID straight-eight engine and a generous amount

of comfort and space to the passengers (series C19).[1]

For 1939 it was expanded with two more coupe versions

and a two-door sedan and a larger, more powerful engine.

Now the C23 series, it took on the "New Yorker" name,

dropping the "Special" tag.[2]

1940

The first convertibles were introduced with the all-new

body-design of the 1940 models. This, the C26 series,

was the first New Yorker to be considered a standalone

model rather than as an Imperial version.[3] It also saw

the introduction of Fluid Drive, a fluid coupling between

the engine and the clutch. The only transmission

available was the basic three-speed manual. There was

also the "New Yorker Highlander", a special version with

tartan seats and other interior elements.[4]

1941

Lightly

redesigned bodies

were introduced

for 1941, with the

business coupe

now being of the

three window

design. The

bodies were all

marginally wider

and lower, with

increased glass

surface. Another new model was the Town Sedan with

the rear doors having the hinges at the forward edge of

the doors. This year, the Vacamatic was made available, although unlike the version sold on six-cylinder

models, the Saratoga/New Yorker version was a three speed transmission with overdrive.

1942

With America entering World War II on 7 December 1941, all automobile production came to an end at the

beginning of February, 1942. Thus, the 1942 model year was roughly half the normal length. Cars built

after December 1941 had blackout trim.[3] The 1942s were quite modern, of a design which was heralding

the post-war ponton style with fenders more incorporated into the bodywork. The grille consisted of five

horizontal chrome bars which wrapped around the front, reaching all the way to the leading edge of the

front wheelhouses. 12,145 New Yorkers of the C36 series were built this year.[3]

Third generation

Chrysler would produce and experiment with engines for tanks and aircraft during World War II. One post-

war application of this would lead to the creation of the first generation Hemi of the 1950s.

1946–1948

After the war, the

New Yorker

became a separateseries.

Unlike most car

companies,

Chrysler did not

make major

changes with each

model year from

1946 through

1948. Thusmodels for 1946

through 1948 Chryslers have the same basic appearance,

noted for their 'harmonica' grille, based on the body

introduced with the 1941 models. 1947 saw a minor

redesign in tires, trim, and instrument panel, while the

first 1948s were just 1947s with no visible changes.

Postwar Chryslers continued to offer Fluid Drive, with

the New Yorker now offering the true four speed semi-

automatic transmission.

convertible

The 1949 New Yorker used Chrysler Corporation's new

postwar body also shared by Dodge and DeSoto with

ponton, three-box styling. The engine continued to be the

323.5-cid straight eight coupled to Fluid Drive and the

Prestomatic four-speed semi-automatic. Body styles were

reduced to club coupe, four-door sedan and convertible.

Wheelbase on the New Yorker was increased to 131.5 in

(3,340 mm) from the 127.5 in (3,240 mm) frame

introduced in 1941. The previous design had been carried

through early 1949, with the new (C46) series having

been delayed due to a strike in late 1948.[9]

The 1950 New Yorker was the more deluxe of the regular

eight-cylinder Chryslers (Saratoga being the eight with

plainer trim) with cloth upholstery available in (unusual

for 1950) several colors, 135 hp (101 kW) Spitfire

straight-eight engine and roomy interior featuring "chair

height" seats. The "Prestomatic" fluid drive transmission

had two forward ranges, each with two speeds. In normal

driving, high range was engaged using the clutch. The

car could then be driven without using the clutch (unless

reverse or low range was required); at any speed above

13 mph (21 km/h), the driver released the accelerator and

the transmission shifted into the higher gear of the range

with a slight "clunk". When the car came to a stop, the

lower gear was again engaged.

The big news for 1950 was the two-door hardtop, or

Special Club Coupe as Chrysler called it, in the NewYorker series. The model was called the Newport in sales

literature. Also, Chrysler added foam rubber padding on

the dashboard for safety.[10]

1951

Chrysler

introduces the

180 hp (130 kW)

engine. The

engine becomes a

popular choice

among hot

rodders and racers

alike, a trend that

continues to

thrive today with

its namesake

FirePower Hemi

equipped cars

could accelerate 0

to 60 mph

(97 km/h) in 10

seconds, faster than the

Oldsmobile 88 Rocket

engine of that time.

The New Yorker also offered

Fluid Torque Drive, a true torque converter, in place of Fluid Drive.

Cars with Fluid Torque Drive came only with Fluid Matic semi-

automatic transmission and had a gear selector quadrant on the

steering column. Power steering, an industry first, appeared as an

option[11] on Chrysler cars with the Hemi engine. It was sold under

the name Hydraguide.

A station wagon was offered for 1951, with only 251 built. Its 131.5 in (3,340 mm) wheelbase is the longe

wheelbase ever used on a station wagon.

1952

Small redesign on taillights with the backup lights in the lower section. Last year for the 131.5 in

(3,340 mm) wheelbase chassis for the New Yorker.

In 1952 Harold A. Clark used a New Yorker as the base for a full-size sports car called the Clark Cycloni

The price was approximately $15,000 dollars and Clark planned to produce 48 during the first year.

Whether this car ever reached production is not known.[12] Francisco Rocha was the first to purchase one.

1953

A less bulky look with the wheelbase reduced to 125.5 in (3,190 mm),[8] a one-piece curved windshield[13

and rear fenders integrated into the body. Wire wheels were now an option. The Saratoga of 1952 became

the New Yorker for 1953 while the former New Yorker was now the New Yorker DeLuxe. The convertible

and Newport hardtop were available only in the New Yorker DeLuxe while the base New Yorker offered a

long wheelbase sedan and a Town & Country wagon. The convertible was New Yorker's costliest model onthe 125.5 in (3,190 mm) chassis for 1953 at $3,980 – only 950 were built. Also new were pull-style exterio

door handles.[14]

1954

The 1954 was a premium version of a standard 1950s size body. Chrysler's interest in six cylinder vehicles

began to wane in favor of the popular FirePower Hemi V8. The New Yorker was priced a little more

affordably, at $3,230 for the standard and $3,400 for the DeLuxe.

The standard model had a mild 195 hp (145 kW) output while the DeLuxe was used as a testbed of the

engine's capabilities by outputting 235 hp (175 kW). (Such power was unheard of in 1954 from its

competitors.)

Although introduced very late in the 1953 model year, all 1954 New Yorkers were available with the new

two speed Powerflite automatic transmission. Fluid Torque Drive and Fluid Matic were dropped. 1954 was

the last year the long wheelbase sedan was offered by Chrysler.

1955–1956

1955

In 1955, Chrysler

did away with the

out of fashion

high roofline

designs of K.T.

Keller and cameout with a new

sedan that

borrowed styling

cues from Virgil

Exner's custom

1952 Imperial Parade Phaeton. The hemi engine

produces 250 hp (190 kW) this year. The result would

become an ongoing trend for increasing engine output

throughout the next two decades with Chrysler and its

rival competitors. The Powerflite transmission wascontrolled by a lever on the instrument panel.

The series was called New Yorker DeLuxe with the base

New Yorker dropped. The club coupe was dropped being

replaced by the Newport two-door hardtop. A new higher

priced St.Regis two-door hardtop filled the spot of the

former Newport. The sedan, convertible and Town &

Country wagon were still offered.

1956

In 1956, Chrysler christened this model year

"PowerStyle" and it was one of the design works of

Virgil Exner. The New Yorker gained a new mesh grille,

leather seats, pushbutton PowerFlite selector, and a V8

with 280 hp (210 kW).

(242 kW). This stylish car sold well with 10,948 built, but only 1,049 convertible models. The 1957 models also

came with the TorqueFlite 3-speed automatic

transmission and a Torsion bar suspension called

Torsion-Aire that gave smoother handling and ride

quality to the car. The New Yorker also sported fins that

swept up from just behind the front doors.

Early model year production had single headlamps with

quad headlamps optional where state regulations

permitted them. The single headlamps were dropped later in the year.[18]

Forward Look remains intact but with new body-side

trim, shrunken taillights and 345 hp (257 kW). The

last year due to The Recession of 1958. The car's

reputation was also tainted due to rust problems caused

by rushed production and testing.

The biggest news from Chrysler in 1958 was the

introduction of a cruise control system called "Auto-

Pilot"[20]

1959

The New Yorkers this year had a new 413 cu in (6.8 L) 350 hp

(260 kW) Golden Lion V8, new tailfins, new front end, and no

Hemi. The FirePower (1G) Hemi ended production and was

replaced by the less expensive and lighter wedge head engine. The

Hemi would never return to the New Yorker and slowly ended its

image as a performance car and re-branded it as a luxury car,

ushered in with styling similar to the Imperial of 1958. The Hemi engine itself would not return to Mopar

cars until 1964 with the second generation 426 Hemi.

The classic

Chrysler fins that

made the car

unique no longer

existed and now

only 4-door models were

offered in wagon,

sedan, and

hardtop models.

The finless car

was considered

"bizarre" by many critics and sales were slow compared to its entry

level sister car, the Newport which was identical in body style and

offered a convertible model. The New Yorker was the last Chrysler

to have a 126 in (3,200 mm) wheelbase.[21]

The 413 RB had a 4.1875 in (106 mm) bore and was used from

1959-1965 in cars. During that period, it powered all Chrysler New

Yorker and Imperial models, and was also available on the lesser

Chryslers, as well Dodge's Polara and Monaco, and the Plymouth

Fury as an alternative to the 383-cubic-inch B series engine and/or

the 318 Poly. With a compression ratio of 10:1, it developed 340

brake horsepower in 1X4-Bbl trim.

1963

Chrysler got a boost in sales in 1963 with the introduction of a 5-

year/50,000-mile warranty, a business practice that was unheard of

by its competitors in the 1960s. The New Yorker used Chrysler's

completely redesigned body with only the windshield showing

traces of the previous Forward Look designs, although, under the

skin, platform changes were near zero, with only a change from 12" Total Contact to Bendix 11" Duo-Serv

brakes. A new, more luxurious Salon four-door hardtop was added at midyear as a trim package. Engine

output is 340 hp (250 kW) and the wheelbase is now 122 in (3,100 mm).

1964

Changes for 1964 included a new grille, larger rear window and small tailfins giving the car a boxier look

from the side. Canadians were given the choice of a new two-door hardtop, while Americans got the Salon

option on the four-door hardtop and post.

engine itself put

out 375 hp

(280 kW) and

was phased out for the 440 Firepower next model year.

The styling began to share some visual similarities with

the premium luxury sedan Imperial which received an

all-new appearance in 1964.

Factory options for 1965 included a 350 hp 413 ci

Firepower engine, vinyl rear roof pillar insert, Saginaw-sourced Tilt 'N Telescopic steering wheel and

standard power options.

For 1965, the 4-door sedan used the six-window Town Sedan style which also used by the 1965 Chrysler

Newport and Dodge Custom 880. The two-door hardtop was now sold in the U.S. Wheelbase of New

Yorker models, except the wagon, was 124 in (3,100 mm). The Town & Country wagon was on the Dodge

121 in (3,100 mm) wheelbase as all C body wagons shared the same basic body.

For 1966, the Chrysler New Yorker adopted the new 440-cid V8 engine. Styling changes included a new

grille, taillamps and revised side trim. The Town & Country wagon was dropped as the model was now

marketed as a series on its own.

Overall, 1966 was a good sales year for Chrysler with a steady increase in production and sales.

1967

1967 brought sheetmetal redesign below the belt line with wraparound parking lights at the front and

taillights at the rear. A new fasttop design for the two-door hardtop replaced the more formal look of 1965–

1966. The four-door sedan reverted to the four-window style as used on the Newport sedan and it had the

Sales slumped 20%, the company's lowest in five years due to an economic slump this year.

1968

Changes included new front and rear treatments. Although the Newport and 300 four-door hardtops

received a new, sportier roofline shared with Dodge and Plymouth, the New Yorker continued with the

were the

new look harking back to the club coupes of the 1940s.

Due to sales that were less than expected, the facelift scheduled for

1971 was put off until 1972. Thus the 1971 models received new

grilles and revised taillamps, changes that took a sharp eye to note.

Ventless front-door windows on the four-door sedan and hardtop

were new this year.

1972

For 1972, Engine power dropped to meet stricter emissions standards and rising gas prices. Chryslers

received a new 'split grille' somewhat similar to the Dodge Chargers of 1971-1974. This would be the last

ear for the 'loop'-style front bumpers on Chryslers.

The 1974 models

were the last full-size models Chrysler designed from the

ground up.[23] Two New Yorker trim levels were offered

in 1974, the base New Yorker and an upgraded New

Yorker Brougham. A new St. Regis option package was

added mid-year.

1975

For 1975, the New Yorker received a slightly revised grille and New Yorker Brougham became the sole

trim designation. The St. Regis package, introduced in mid-1974, returned for its first full year.

1976

In 1976, the New Yorker inherited the front and rear end styling of the discontinued Imperial, and itsinteriors as well. The Imperial styling gave the New Yorker an unforeseen boost in sales, as the car looked

distinctly different from the lower priced Newport. The styling cues formerly used on the 1974 and 1975

New Yorkers in turn were passed on to the base Chrysler Newport.

1977

The standard 440-cid V8 engine was now computer-controlled with a new "lean burn" system allowing for

more responsive acceleration and performance.

1982

In an effort of downsizing, the 1982 Chrysler New

Yorker (and the Fifth Avenue trim) moved to the

corporate M-body. In turn, the Chrysler LeBaron, which

had previously used the M-body, moved to the compact

K-body this year. The 1982 New Yorker was not a

completely new vehicle. It was essentially a restyled andupgraded version of the LeBaron which had been

produced since 1977. This M-body New Yorker used

Chrysler's slant 6 engine. The 318 in³ engine was

optional.

The 1982 New Yorker was available in two trims: Base

and Fifth Avenue. Both used the formal roof treatment.

The Fifth Avenue package gave buyers a choice of

pillowed Corinthian leather or Kimberley velvet seats

while base models had cloth or optional leather seats.This car became the Chrysler New Yorker Fifth

Avenue for 1983 and for 1984 the "New Yorker" prefix

was dropped altogether; becoming the Chrysler Fifth

Avenue.

1983

In 1983, the NewYorker name was

used on two

different models.

The M-body car

was now the

"New Yorker

Fifth Avenue" a

name which

changed to simply

"Fifth Avenue"from 1984 to

1989. The other

was an all new K-

car based New

Yorker, which

used the front-

wheel drive

Chrysler E

platform, the

beginning of theextended K-car

years.

The E-platform

New Yorker came

with state-of-the-

art 1980s

technology,

including a digital dashboard and Electronic Voice Alert,

which spoke notifications such as "A door is ajar";"Please fasten your seat belts"; "Don't forget your keys";

"Thank you" (when you fastened your seat belt, closed

the door tightly or removed the key from the ignition

switch); "Your engine oil pressure is low - prompt service

is required". Also standard was a Landau vinyl roof with

electroluminescent opera lamps. This was the only

Chrysler New Yorker generation with an inline-four

engine.

1983 was a limited production year for the FWD New

Yorker. When introduced in 1983, it shared many

elements with the Chrysler E-Class and had a waterfall

grille that was slightly different from the 1984-1988

versions.

1984

Restyled wraparound taillights and a revised front grille were among the cosmetic changes for 1984. A 2.2

L I4 turbo engine was now an option. New electronic instrumentation featured digital speedometer and

odometer. Pillowed velvet seats replaced deep-nap cloth seats as standard.

1985

Standard engine switched from 2.2 L I4 to Mitsubishi-sourced 2.6 L I4. New standard interior features

included overhead storage console with reading lamps, rear seat headrests, and power windows.

1986

Chrysler-built 2.5 L I4 replaced 2.6 L I4 as standard engine. Also new was an automatic load leveling

suspension. Cosmetically, rear deck lid panels, moldings and taillights were redesigned. Interior changes

included a new forward console and revised electronic instrumentation. AM/FM stereo and deluxe

intermittent wipers were now standard.

1987

Hood vents were eliminated on turbo models, as were fender louvers on all models. A new six-speaker

Infinity sound system was optional. As with other Chryslers, steering wheel was redesigned. 1987 was the best-selling and last full model year for the E-platform New Yorker.

1988

Although a new thirteenth generation New Yorker was introduced for 1988, the twelfth generation

continued for one more abbreviated model year as the 1988 New Yorker Turbo. As the model name

suggested, the 2.2 L I4 turbo was now the standard and only available engine. In addition to the turbo

engine, previously optional yet commonly ordered equipment like automatic temperature control air

conditioning, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, rear window defogger, and power door locks became

standard.

While previous model year New Yorkers equipped with the optional turbo engine were also commonly

referred to as a "New Yorker Turbo" and wore "Turbo" badges, only the 1988 model had it as its official

model name.

1989

For 1989, the 3.0 liter V6 engine had a slight horsepower

increase and was now mated to a new 4-speed Ultradrive

automatic transmission. This year also marked the 50th

anniversary of the "New Yorker" name. Although no

special anniversary edition or recognition was offered at

the time, it turned out to be the most popular New Yorker of the model run with over 100,000 units produced that

ear.

1990

In 1990, a new base model New Yorker called "Salon" was added. The Salon was a rebadged Dodge

Dynasty with exposed headlamps, horizontal taillights, and grille similar to the Dodge. The Salon was sold

in Canada as the Chrysler Dynasty. All models carried a new Chrysler-built 3.3 L V6 engine that year.

Minor changes to the interior included a more contemporary contoured dash. A driver's side air bag was

now standard.

1991

The Landau model was dropped for 1991 but Salon was upgraded and now came with more standard

equipment, hidden headlights, vertical taillights, and a traditional Chrysler grille.

1992

A styling update for 1992 produced a more rounded appearance front and rear. A padded landau roof,

similar to one previously featured on the "Landau" model, was now an option on the Salon.

1993

Last year's restyle carried into 1993. The last thirteenth generation New Yorker rolled off the assembly line

on May 28, 1993.

New Yorker Fifth Avenue

In 1990, a new stretched-wheelbase New Yorker version was offered carrying the additional moniker of

Fifth Avenue from the just-departed M-body platform. Although officially sold as the New Yorker FifthAvenue, it was sometimes referred to as simply "Fifth Avenue." This model was discontinued in 1993.

1994

The last

generation of the

New Yorker

continued with

front-wheel drive

on an elongatedversion of the

new Chrysler LH platform and was shown at the 1992

North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It

was released along with the nearly identical Chrysler

LHS for the 1994 model year, a year after the original

LH cars: the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and

Eagle Vision, were introduced. The New Yorker came

standard with the 3.5 L EGJ which produced 214 hp

(160 kW). Chrysler gave the New Yorker a more

"traditional American" luxury image, and the LHS amore European performance image (as was done with the

Eagle Vision). Aside from different color choices, little

separated New Yorker from LHS in appearance, with

New Yorker's chrome exterior trim, gray body cladding,

optional chrome wheel covers, column shifter and front

bench seat, being the only noticeable differences. LHS

also came with many of New Yorker's optional features

as standard equipment, and featured a firmer tuned

suspension, to go with its more European image.

1995

For 1995, the New Yorker received Chrysler's revived

blue ribbon logo (which was last used in the 1950s) on its

grille, which replaced the pentastar which had been used

on models beginning in 1980.

The 1996 model featured additional sound insulation and

revised structural engineering to give it a quieter ride. A

new built-in transmitter replaced the remote garage door

opener. Optional Infinity sound system now incorporated

cassette and CD players.

Due to similarities between the New Yorker and LHS, and the LHS's strong sales, the New Yorker name

was dropped after 1996. Despite being far more contemporary and monochromatic in design compared to

previous models, the traditional New Yorker with its 2 tone cladding and chrome trim still did not followthe modern, monochromatic styling trend of the division's other vehicles in 1997.

LH design background

The fourteenth, and final, generation New Yorker's design can be traced to 1986, when designer Kevin

Verduyn completed the initial exterior design of a new aerodynamic concept sedan called Navajo. The

design never passed the clay model stage.

It was also at this time that the Chrysler Corporation purchased bankrupt Italian sports car manufacturer

Lamborghini. The Navajo's exterior design was reworked and became the Lamborghini Portofino, releasedas a concept at the 1987 Frankfurt Auto Show. The Portofino was heralded as a design triumph, setting in

motion Chrysler's decision to produce a production sedan with the Portofino's revolutionary exterior design

called "cab-forward".

The cab forward design was characterized by the long, low slung windshield, and relatively short

overhangs. The wheels were effectively pushed to the corners of the car, creating a much larger passenger

cabin than the contemporaries of the time.

Design of the chassis began in the late 1980s, after Chrysler had bought another automaker: American

Motors Corporation (AMC) in 1987. During this time, Chrysler began designing the replacement for theDodge Dynasty and Chrysler Fifth Avenue as well as a potential Plymouth. The initial design of Dodge's

LH bore resemblance to the Dynasty, and this design was scrapped entirely after François Castaing,

formerly AMC's Vice President of product engineering and development, became Chrysler's Vice Presiden

of vehicle engineering in 1988. The new design, under Castaing's leadership, began with the Eagle Premier

also sold later as the Dodge Monaco.

The Premier's longitudinal engine mounting layout was inherited, as was the front suspension geometry,

and parts of the braking system. The chassis itself became a flexible architecture capable of supporting fron

or rear-wheel drive (designated "LH" and "LX" respectively).

The chassis design was continually refined throughout the following years, as it underpinned more Chrysle

prototypes: the 1989 Chrysler Millennium and 1990 Eagle Optima.

The transmission was inspired by the Eagle Premier's ZF automatic. However, it borrowed heavily from

Chrysler's A604 (41TE) "Ultradrive" transversely mounted automatic, it became the A606 (also known as

42LE). This Ultradrive transmission however was not without critics as The New York Times reported on

January 25, 1991 that Consumers Union would publish in the February 1991 issue of the magazine

Consumer Reports a warning for consumers to not purchase a vehicle with this "Ultradrive" transmission

citing poor reliability and safety hazards.

4/7/2016 Chrysler New Yorker - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_New_Yorker#1986 22

By 1990, it was decided that the new technologically advanced car would need a new technologically

advanced engine to power it. Until that time, the only engine confirmed for use was Chrysler's 3.3 L

pushrod V6, which would be used in the three original LH cars, the Intrepid, Vision, and Concorde, in base

form. The 3.3 L engine's 60° block was bored out to 3.5 L, while the pushrod-actuated valves were replace

with SOHC cylinder heads with four valves per cylinder, creating an advanced 3.5 L V6 optional in the

three smaller cars, but standard in LHS and New Yorker.

The general LH appearance, still based on the cab forward exterior design of the 1987 Lamborghini

Portofino concept, with its aerodynamic shape, made for little wind noise inside this large car. This sleek styling gives the LH cars a low drag coefficient which was ahead of its time.

The New Yorker featured a more monochromatic design inside and out (but less so than its LHS sibling,

which had very little chromed trim), and aluminum wheels with a Spiralcast design. The single color motif

was more pronounced on models without the grey lower cladding.

Upscale New Yorker models feature leather-trimmed seats, steering wheel, shift knob and door inserts.

Passenger comforts include rear center rear armrest, and 8-way power seats for both the driver and

passenger, as well as personal reading lamps.

Power windows and central door locks were standard, as was climate control with air conditioning, and

cruise control. remote keyless entry available as an option, as was a remote activated alarm, an overhead

console with computer, power moonroof and alloy wheels. The best stock audio options found in New

Yorker are the Infinity sound systems having eight speakers positioned throughout the cabin along with an

equalizer. Head units include a radio with either cassette or CD playback, and up to a five-band adjustable

graphic equalizer, with joystick balance and fade control

Standard safety features included dual front airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and traction control.

Dual-way power sunroofs were available on this car. They were designed and installed by American

Sunroof Corp. (now ASC Global) from its Columbus, Ohio plant, not by Mopar itself. An installed sunroo

eliminated most of the front overhead console that featured storage bins for a garage door opener and

sunglasses. However, the Overhead Travel Information System (OTIS), or onboard computer with

integrated map lights, was retained.

LHS

The five-passenger Chrysler LHS was differentiated from its New Yorker counterpart by a floor console

and shifter, five-passenger seating, lack of chrome trim, an upgraded interior and a sportier image. For the

1997 model year the New Yorker was dropped in favor of a six-passenger option on the 1997 LHS. The

LHS received a minor face change in 1995 when the corporate wide pentastar emblem was replaced with

the revived Chrysler brand emblem.

Being the top-of-the-line Chrysler, many features came standard on the LHS — features optional on its

siblings. Some of these options included a 3.5 L EGE 24-valve 214 hp (160 kW) V6 engine, body-colored

grille, side mirrors and trim, traction control, aluminum wheels, integrated fog lights, and 8-way power

adjustable front seats, premium sound systems with amplifiers, and automatic temperature control. Unlike

the New Yorker, leather seats were standard.

Chrysler LHS

The headlamps on the 1994 models were very poorly designed and

many owners complained about their poor brightness. Chrysler

rushed the redesign into the production for 1995 model year. The

new design used a projector-style headlight beam, something that

was still somewhat uncommon for its time.

The 1995-1997 LHS was sold in Europe with the New Yorker

nameplate and featured rear amber turn signals, rear fog lamps, side

turn signal repeaters, and headlamps that incorporated different lensgeometry and bulbs, whereas the side markers were deleted. 1996-1997 LHS exports to South Korea and

the Middle East likewise bore the New Yorker nameplate. South Korean exports looked like a European

New Yorker, Middle East exports like an American LHS.

The first generation LHS was praised by motoring journalist Jeremy Clarkson, who is well known for

criticizing American automobiles but described the LHS as "by global standards, right up there with the

best."[25]
