1978 Chrysler New Yorker - LimaOhio.com
LIMA — The Chrysler New Yorker is an automobile produced by Chrysler Corporation from 1940 to 1996. It served as the brand’s flagship model for several years. 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. From 1976 to 1978 all New Yorkers were correctly referred to as New Yorker Broughams. This made the New Yorker the flagship of Chrysler Corporation’s lineup for the very first time, but not the last. Daniel Simmons, of Lima, brought his 1978 Chrysler New Yorker to The Lima News’ Real Wheels Cruise-In. Source: limaohio.com
