This Chrysler New Yorker got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1978 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham coupe is finished in gray over matching leather and is powered by a 440ci V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission. The car was acquired by the selling dealer in August 2021 and is equipped with a black vinyl top, hideaway headlights, chrome bumpers, air conditioning, cruise control, power-adjustable front seats, and 15” wheels. This New Yorker is offered in South Carolina with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Massachusetts title.
