1992 Chrysler New Yorker Manufacturer Promo
The Fifth Avenue, still riding the M-body platform, was discontinued after 1989 and Chrysler took the opportunity to bring the model back into the New Yorker lineup. Now you could get your New Yorker in a choice of two wheelbase lengths. If you compare this side shot of a ’92 Fifth Avenue and the ’91 standard wheelbase New Yorker in the photo above it, you can see that the wheelbase stretch had its intended effect. The longer car looks much more stately, and rear passengers got a lot more legroom. These cars look nicer in dark colors, too. By 1992, New Yorkers came with a standard 147 horsepower 3.3L V6 with sequential multipoint fuel injection. An optional 3.8L V6, also with SMPI, added only three more hp, to 150 total. A driver’s side airbag was standard, and while the regular wheelbase New Yorker Salon made do with standard gauges, Fifth Avenues got digital instrumentation. While the Fifth Avenue was a new model in 1990, the New Yorker line was little changed between 1988 and 1991. In 1992, however, more “aero” front and rear fascias were added, which smoothed out the lines a bit. It was a very traditional looking car though, with its wire wheel covers, landau top with opera windows, and multi-buttoned Mark Cross leather interior. And don’t forget the whitewalls!
