Us car guys always loved these and in that era of non performance vehicles, luxury was king..Once, when a friend asked me if I liked it, I said yes, and I refered to it as “the Electric Razor”. I put a few thousand into it and sold it on eBay. The resistor puts the needle just past the midway point on the gauge when the engine is started and there’s pressure.

Cadillac had already shrunk their Fleetwood and de Ville models in 1977; in 1979, Chrysler did the same with the New Yorker and Newport; and Lincoln was last to the small-big-car party, with their 1980 Panther-based Connie.

Once the item is sold it is solely your responsibility for payment and pickup. I’ve seen one of these so-equipped in the flesh and it was divine, just divine!+2 on the gauges/lights. Are they still afraid of the 1981 “Imperial fiasco”…? I am from Canada, and can transport across US border to International Falls. Our ’96 Mustang GT’s oil pressure gauge is actually NOT a gauge at all. By all appearances they certainly did better through this era than the fullsize Plymouths and Dodges. Very nice, and very thirsty. It’s so “cookie-cutter”, extruded foam, “chintzy”….BUT, where else can one get a FOUR-door HARDTOP… with the desirable VENT windows….. and often a good leather upholstery??? All too soon though, they would be gone for good, save for the power vent windows found on Ford products well into the late ’80s.

It is a distinguishing touch.There most certainly is a Brougham Society! Intended to move Chrysler more into Cadillac and Lincoln territory, it never really took off despite attractive design and plenty of luxury features.
So they came into the first oil crisis in much better shape. Better, in fact–give me this and try to follow me down a winding road in a 2000 police-spec Crown Vic, I dare you!As for those pillows on the rear roof pillars, look closely and you’ll notice something even better. Compare this with say… a ’69 or ’70 LTD! It’s interesting that, after the Arab Oil Embargo, sales collapsed for the full-size Dodge and Plymouth, and never recovered, but the full-size Chryslers sold very well. Just send me the CC expense account form and I’m all over it.
I guess we know at least one Chrysler survived the show, they must have destroyed half a dozen.I was in Cub Scouts in the mid-’70s and our Den Mother had what I remember to be a *huge* (to me) New Yorker (or maybe it was an Imperial?) Who’da thunk it, compared to SOME earlier Chryslers!I used to see lots of these in the Florissant, MO area, as we were well-represented by a Chrysler/Plymouth and Dodge dealer. Was there a West Coast prejudice in the upper classes against Mopar product? The more problems the car had, the more colorful the dash became. They also have proper roof-mounted shoulder belts, replacing a chintzy add-on strap. Maybe the engineers overcompensated for the lack of a B pillar. High point of Chrysler design and assembly mediocrity.The Royal Monaco name was first used in ’75, but in 1975-76 it wasn’t a distinct model from the “regular” Monaco.

The Imperial’s 124″ wheelbase was the same as lesser New Yorkers and Newports, but the car itself was longer overall and featured exclusive hidden headlights; button-tufted upholstery, in velour or optional leather; and four-wheel disc brakes.But it didn’t sell: After selling just 14,483 1974 models and a mere 8,830 ’75s, the Imperial finally left the building–well, at least in name…For the car did reappear–prominently displayed on the cover of the 1976 Chrysler brochure–no longer as an Imperial, but a New Yorker Brougham. Iacocca did what he had to do to save the company by downsizing everything to the K-car platform, but these are the final, full-size cars that the Chrysler faithful really love.Interestingly, the grille on the last 1978 version is not technically a ‘water fall’ with its solid chrome on the top.Likewise, in typical Chrysler fashion, although you could still get vent windows, they weren’t operated via a little window crank in the door panel like Cadillac and Lincoln. parked in the driveway alongside what had to have been a 30′ Airstream camper trailer. To answer your question, Lynn Townsend was an accountant. I also preferred the 76-77 grille treatment. So slick, low and elegant. Whatever damage I did to my engine, it wasn’t evident for the rest of the time that I owned it.Not really sure about the Explorer, but when the engine in that Mercury was overheated – badly – while being driven several miles, which finally caused some kind of catastrophic bottom end failure, the needle just bounced between it’s normal position and zero psi intermittently. I’ll join if it’s open to new members.It’s open to anyone that wants to join.

I’m sure the sedan versions were more solid-feeling, but I’ll take mine pillarless, thank you.Too bad the bodies and many components were made out of paper mache’…Actually, all 1976-78 New Yorker 4 doors were pillarless hardtops. It just seems to obvious to combine the two, at the least.My ’94 Mazda Navajo (Explorer) had a full set of gauges, if IIRC, which was nice, along with the tachometer.For just about all FAR 135/121 approved airplanes, the crew has a set of Master Warning Flashers and Master Caution Flashers that illuminate whenever a warning or caution annunciator illuminates on the flight deck. This baby probably drank gas like an alcoholic, but if you could afford one, who cared? At least, that is what I thought at the time when I saw these cars in I wouldn’t be surprised if many buyers figured that, if they wanted a full-size car that looked like a two-year-old Buick, they’d buy the real thing as a used car and save money. And when the gas crisis hit in late 1973, just as the ’74s were debuting, Chrysler got screwed–again.

I still hope to get one of these in the future and see what they’re like behind the wheel. It must’ve gotten pretty lousy mileage while he had it. All items are sold 'As Is, Where Is' without warranty of any kind,expressed or implied. As others have commented, it was hard to keep Chrysler’s model lineups straight during the late ’70s and early ’80s.Damn you, Tom Klockau, you keep finding these and waving them in my face!
