Chrysler New Yorker (1940 to 1996)

The Chrysler New Yorker was introduced for the 1940 model year. The New Yorker was a series of luxury cars that for a large part of their production run represented the top of the Chrysler model lineup. The name New Yorker had first featured on Chrysler's as a variant of the Chrysler Imperial, yet starting in 1940, the New Yorker became its own model. Over its long production life, the New Yorker was built in fourteen generations: 1st Gen (1940-1942), 2nd Gen (1946-1948), 3rd Gen (1949-1954), 4th Gen (1955-1956), 5th Gen (1957-1959), 6th Gen (1960-1964), 7th Gen (1965-1968), 8th Gen (1969-1973), 9th Gen (1974-1978), 10th Gen (1979-1981), 11th Gen (1982), 12th Gen (1983-1988), 13th Gen (1988-1993), and 14th Gen (1994-1996).
