Vehicle Description
This is a top-of-the-line luxury car that remains in survivor-grade
condition. And because this triple-while 1974 Chrysler New Yorker
Brougham is such an opulent machine, driving this time capsule
means getting a big V8 and cold A/C. So it's an amazing total
package for quite an affordable price.
This is a classic that has received all the right care. The Sapporo
White paint is believed to be original, and while it's not perfect,
it has a level of crispness that still lives up to the New Yorker's
luxury image. And the level of excellence is seen on the brightwork
where the grille, bumpers, rocker trim, wheel trim, and headlight
surrounds still have a mirror-like quality. Plus, it retains all
the right details - front the pinstripe to the fender skirts. It's
this level of quality that helps re-affirm that the mileage is
likely actual. And if so, averaging less than 350 miles a year
means there would be more mileage on the odometer if we only drove
this once a year from our showroom to Palm Beach and back. And
lovers of Chrysler luxury will notice that this upper-level
Brougham model is further distinguished with the premium St. Regis
package. Not only is it rare (St. Regis was not offered for the
full 1974 model year,) but it's also how this gets the half vinyl
roof that adds extra class to this long coupe.
While muscle cars look for triple black, the best luxury machines
demand triple white. So when you open the door, you'll be pleased
to see that the seats (along with the exterior paint and vinyl
roof) complete this ultra-desirable package. Just like the
exterior, this is exceptionally preserved. In fact, you can still
clearly see the Brougham crests embossed on the seatbacks. This is
a full-sized luxury coupe, and so there is plenty of room for
family and friends. But when it's time for more individualized
comfort, both rows have fold-down armrest and individual padding.
When you slip behind the factory wheel, you have a fantastic
appearance where the wood-like trim matches the dash and doors for
a full uniform presentation. Plus, Chryslers were the best at
making the driver the king. That's why it's an easy reach to all
the best premium features, including the power windows, power
locks, factory AM/FM stereo, and factory air condition that's still
blowing cold.
Under the hood is the mighty 440 V8. This looks fantastically
factory-correct, right down to the air topper with factory decals.
While this big block powerhouse was a favorite on the muscle car
scene, in the New Yorker it had a different role. It utilizes its
powerful and torquey heart in a more refined way. So no rumbling
burnouts here, but you do get to be the first to pull away for the
stoplight any time you want. Plus, it has power steering, front
disc brakes, a three-speed automatic transmission, and cloud-like
ride quality. So it's the kind of classic luxury that can still
effortlessly take you down the boulevard today.
Complete with owner's manual, you're looking at rare luxury in rare
survivor form. So when something is distinguished is also so
affordable, you know you need to hurry if you want to take it home.
