The 1994 Chrysler New Yorker - Throwback Thursday

[@bills2843]

My dad used to have this car, and man it was so good. The seats weren't any normal seats, but they were sofas. They were super comfortable and this car cruised along the highways. It was such a beauty!

I missed my 94 Chrysler LHS, tempted to buy another one...

[@sherpafan033]

Absolutely stunning car. I'd do anything to have this and an early 90s Buick Park Avenue...

[@peachyclean93]

OMG! I so miss that exhaust note!

[@Jonathan-dq8hb]

Yes ! And the "whirring buzz" made by the solenoid pack when you put it in reverse.

[@Ivan-fw9vm]

It was a good looking car back in the days..

I loved the 5th avenue of the 80's, and owned three. When I bought my 94 New Yorker it was the biggest headache ever. I have never seen so many electric issues on one vehicle. I'm buying a Lincoln.

[@dalemccartney]

I agree all the way. I traded my first 88 Fifth Avenue in for a 94 LHS and it was an enjoyable car for the first few weeks of ownership, but quickly became an embarrassing nightmare to drive. There's a reason you don't see many first gen LH cars on the road anymore.

Bob P. Bought new 94 NY Jul 95. Still have it. 189K on it. Wife's car. People have stopped her in parking lots & asked if interest in selling. No Dice. Only had a couple serious issues. Transmission replaced with new, under extended warranty @ 44K. Erratic shifting. Water pump failure, @ 30K, sized & destroyed timing belt also, warranty. I replaced timing belt again @ 75K, I also replaced water pump & tensioner again. Issue with steering rack @ 30 K +/_.. (tie rod ends ? by mech shop) Electric antenna jammed (due to dusty environment). Radio/cassette failed. Plastic coating on body trim has been coming off for 5 + years. We have been very happy with the vehicle, typical 26 MPG, wife driving. Me not so much.

I didn't realize these cars were sold in Europe. I always assumed American cars were to big for European taste and narrow roads.

[@ansgar6111]

In Deutschland wurde der New Yorker auch verkauft, ein Bekannter hatte einen.

[@Lousybarber]

I had a 1996 LHS. It was a love / hate relationship. The car was quick, handled well and was comfortable. On the downside it started having numerous problems around 80,000 miles. I fixed some of the issues until it became clear there would be no end to the repairs. Dumped it at around 90,000 miles. Did not get much for it since it had no resale value whatsoever.

Was this a brittish motor show??

Canadian.

[@meleepinata]

It's a shame they cut so many corners in the 90s. These cars were zippy and very comfortable.

[@Journey_to_who_knows]

I can’t imagine that look wasn’t immediately outdated in 1994, there’s a sort of charm to kitsch dated-ness of 90s cars. It will never be on par with vintage design but you love to hate it.

[@brandonsanders8665]

It wasn't immediately outdated in 1994. It was actually considered quiet attractive and new when it came out. There is nothing to hate about this car.

[@trudygreer2491]

"Chrize-ler"!

[@fpsharing]

"A country mile out of the power band". Their country was supposed to be metric? Seems not really. Not unless the U.S. allows it.

[@vassa1972]

I thought that the lhs cars were nice looking, my ex wife's younger sister's husband had first gen intrepid

[@brandonsanders8665]

You wife's younger sister's husband....can you be more specific?

[@agentnugent1021]

Impala front end

[@brandonsanders8665]

No

[@stevemino142]

These were junk this was the beginning of the end for full size chrysler cars this bodystyle started in 93 still remember clear as day had a 93 dodge intrepid with the 3.3 litre put 2 transmissions in this thing in 4 years luckily it was a company car had less than 100k kilometers at the time...just my 2 cents

[@brandonsanders8665]

These weren't junk just because you had a bad experience. Chrysler is still building full size cars.

[@Bagel_Biscuit]

My dad a 94, it was a total lemon.
