Fact1989 marked 50 years of the New Yorker name with no special edition, yet it was the generation's best year, over 100,000 built.
The redesigned 1988 New Yorker was larger, on Chrysler's front-wheel-drive C platform shared with the Dodge Dynasty, carrying over many underbody and suspension parts, and was built at Belvidere, Illinois, until 1993, including the New Yorker Landau. It had a Mitsubishi 3.0 litre V6 and later a 3.3 litre V6, with optional anti-lock brakes.

Owning one
An estimate, for the 3.0 Mitsubishi V6 trim: fuel on its EPA figure and a dated national price, upkeep on a per-mile average for the kind of car it is.

Photographs
The last New Yorker's cab-forward shape traces back to the 1987 Lamborghini Portofino concept, from the Lamborghini Chrysler had just bought.

The 1988 redesign brought back something Chrysler had given up seven years earlier: hidden headlamps, last seen on the R-body cars before they were dropped in 1981.
The E-body was the smallest New Yorker ever made, and it could talk: an optional Electronic Voice Alert spoke warnings to the driver.
R-body New Yorker sales fell from almost 55,000 in 1979 to just over 6,500 in 1981.
The 1978 New Yorker Brougham was among America's last true pillarless hardtops, with frameless door glass that opened fully.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
