Chrysler New Yorker

The last generation of the Chrysler New Yorker continued with front-wheel drive on an elongated version 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. For 1995, the Chrysler New Yorker received Chrysler’s new logo on its grille, which replaced the old pentastar. Chrysler gave the New Yorker a more traditional American luxury image, and the Chrysler LHS a more European performance image, but in reality the two only differed by the Chrysler New Yorker’s chrome exterior trim, column shifter, front bench seat, and fewer standard features. This is why after 1996, the New Yorker name was dropped, in favor of a six-passenger option on the more-popular Chrysler LHS.
