  • In this video I give a full in depth tour of the 1990 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue I take viewers on a close look through the interior and exterior of this car while showing details, over viewing of features, and noting unique styling cues to the vehicle itself. I also show the engine and the details of it, start it up and see how it sounds under acceleration. A thorough tour/review of this car designed to give others a greater overall appreciation of the vehicle.

    I had this exact car, and year, only a Mark Cross edition in the early 90s, but mine had the digital dash and every available option. That thing rode like a cloud on the highway. It was amazing to travel in over long distances. Such comfort and the AC blew so cold it felt like the windows would frost up! It was a great car.

    Years ago, I had a 1990 New Yorker a lot like this one. The ride was amazing, and the technology it came with was incredible for the time. It came with digital everything, as well as automatic leveling suspension. While it was tremendously enjoyable to drive, the transmission proved to be an enormous headache. Somewhere around 50k miles, some $4 part called an "overdrive shift ring" broke and destroyed the entire transmission, causing a breakdown right in the middle of rush hour traffic. Had the transmission repaired several times, and replaced the computer module as well, but it never ran right after that. After a couple years of transmission breakdowns, I finally got rid of the thing. They were sure nice cars to drive when they were working.

      I have a fully loaded 91’ white fifth Avenue with the mark cross package red Corinthian leather interior. And OMG! The seats. People just don’t know what there missing. And these cars were seriously over engineered when Chrysler built them. Heated outside mirrors, navigation compass heads up display with other systematic information on the overhead console. 8 way adjustable power seats with memory on the driver side that also remembers the mirror settings, digital instrument cluster. Rear air suspension. Power pull down trunk. Automatic shutoff headlights. And more. As the trademark at the time for Chrysler was “there is no luxury without engineering!” And it’s so true. I love mine. I hope you can get another one if you desire one

    The thing that puts this over the original 5th Avenue like I own It's the fact that the lights are covered and not completely exposed from the hood lining! Definitely a wonderful feature. I have a Chrysler 5th Avenue in 1987 still mint condition but that's the issue with the headlights and they have to be replaced at least every 5 years.. Ballast and all.

    Wow, great to see a Fifth Avenue in such a great condition. Normally its one of those typical cars that got totally trashed or sent to the junkyard years ago. This gen Fifth Avenue/New Yorker/Dynasty never was the best option if you wanted buy an american fullsize car but it has character and its nice to see there are still some good looking ones out there. Another canditate for "Id rather buy it for a collection than selling it for cheap money".

  • @knowbodiesfull5768
    @knowbodiesfull5768 8 років тому +29

    These early 1990s Chryslers were just as luxurious as those made 20 years before. They rode like them, too. But their exterior fit and finish left a lot to be desired. A lot of these cars lost much of their chrome trim within five or six years. This particular example was evidently owned by a senior citizen who was very mindful (and had to be!) about keeping his or her car in tip-top shape. The car was no doubt garaged for all its life. This car is now 26 years old and, in most states, is eligible for antique-car plates, so that should be enough reason for the next owner to keep it well-maintained.

    • @robk9685
      @robk9685 3 роки тому

      My Mom came home with that Dynasty version. I was shocked as she always bought nicer cars. They hit the market for those that still wanted that formal roofline though. In rental car white too. The radio quit working in the first year of ownership (yes, the base/basic radio) along with the common Chrysler premature a/c unit failure. Thr torque steer on these FWD vehicles was horrifying too. Im sure the whole thing would have fallen apart in 36 months but she bought it right after retiring and really never drove it.

    Ahh yes! I loved the Chrysler 5th Aves from 90-93 as well as the Cadillac Devilles from 89-93.
    These cars were just boats that floated. I think an 18 wheeler had a better turning radius then the Chrysler.
    The thing that was messed up though is that the Fifth Aves and Imperials of these years were basically 17 ft long K cars. Nonetheless I love them.

    Back in early 2000, the vehicle I owned was totaled about 3 months before the loan would have been paid off. I used the insurance money obtained as a down payment on this particular make & model Chrysler... Same year, color, interior & everything and it was a great car. No major issues that I recall except for after a few years having to replace the tensioner & belt and later on it needed another ignition switch. One of the best cars I ever owned...in fact, gave me much better service than both my 93 Cadillac Seville & 96 Cadillac Eldorado...both purchased after I got rid of the 5th Avenue. I recently went back to Chrysler in December of last year and bought a new 2019 Chrysler 300.

    The 3.3 V6 in this 1990 Chrysler New Yorker was added as an optional engine. 3.3 V6 was only standard in the Imperial. The New Yorker standard engine was the 3.0 V6 and that engine was an absolute piece of carp. The valve guide seals would go bad in after 70000 miles. I've seen a lot of Dodge Dynasty's Dodge Spirit's Plymouth Acclaim and New Yorker's going down the road with that 3.0 V6 all blowing blue smoke out the back of the exhaust. The 3.3 V6 however was a better quality built engine and reliable.

      The 3.0 was a Mitsubishi motor only in the 88 and 89 of the New Yorker (for the 13th Gen in this tense), but once you hit 90 and beyond, the 3.3 was Chrysler original, the 3.8 joined it in the NYer in 91. the 3.3 was standard in the Imperial, New Yorker, and other K-Series related models as of 1990. Good little motor.

    I think it had an engine light come on, right when the lights went on, very typical Chrysler.

    LOL @ how Chrysler had better interiors back then compared to the Daimler shit of the early-mid 2000's.

    Just bought an 88 5th Ave, absolutely love it, the 418 v8 is so nice.

      @ The 1988 5th Avenue is on the previous, rear wheel drive platform. It did come with a V8. The FWD version in the video began in 1989.

      That’s a M-body fifth Avenue. If it has the 318. Though those are known to be tough as nails if maintained

    Nice car it's in great shape. I see this car all the time driving around my area but none as nice as this one.

    I just bought my grandpa's 1993 Chrysler New Yorker Fifth Avenue today. It's when they revised it for a rounder front and rear end. My headlight covers fold down, instead of up. Weird that they made that sort of a change. It has 107k miles and everything works...mint condition. Including the old R-12 A/C.

    I miss this car. Had it in HS 2002. Was totaled while park by a Cadillac DeVille. Good times!
