Chrysler New Yorker Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1949–1954) — Third Generation
If you are considering a Third Generation Chrysler New Yorker, you will find a full-size luxury car in sedan, coupe, cabrio, and five-door estate form. All of those bodies share a rear-drive, automatic character.
A typical Chrysler New Yorker engine of this generation is a large gasoline unit driving the rear wheels through an automatic transmission. Selected examples include the 5.3 AT and 5.4 AT sedans, plus a 5.3 AT cabrio; that powertrain and drivetrain pairing favors relaxed cruising rather than frequent manual shifts.
