1976 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham review from North America
"Surely one of the best cars ever built"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Minor problems:
Rlectric windows failed after about 100,000 miles (and countless times that children played with them).
A/C repair work after about 10 years.
The interior still looks good, minor fading due to sun exposure.
Some cracking of the vinyl roof after 15 years.
No failure of engine or body due to initial construction, just minor wear, as might be expected after 25 years as my primary transportation.
General comments?
Still runs great. The engine and transmission are in good shape, and it is still fast and smooth to handle on the road.
It is still a luxury ride, it is too good to replace, so I'm having it repainted for the first time!
