| “Living Room On Wheels...” I bought this particular New Yorker in 2003 sight unseen from an ad on eBay and had it shipped cross country to NY from CA. I always liked this under appreciated body style. Luxury that would rival even today's brands. Power everything, tilt wheel, factory A/C, power seats - and it all worked! Performance - 413 Wedge with a 4bbl carb, dual exhaust & pushbutton 3 spd TorqueFlite. it wauld pass everything except gas stations, but stopped on a dime with large drum brakes at all 4 corners. She drove as if you were driving your living room down the road while sitting on the couch. Turning was like navigating a supertanker. All moves must be plotted carefully.
Pros —
413 Wedge - 360 HP/470 ft lb torque that would push you back in the seat at the mere push on the accelerator pedal. Luxury amenities rivaling today's autos. A great boulevard cruiser. The odds of seeing another one on the road are extremely low.
Cons —
Gas mileage. Scarcity of body & trim parts.

| “Like Driving A Waterbed” ok, I have owned and drive plenty of Lincolns and Cadillacs, but this was the smoothest car I have ever been in. It had absolutley no road feel AT ALL. If was like being in a space ship, no bumps, no resistance on the sterring wheel, none. It was almost scary to drive because it is so uncommunicative you have no idea what the car is doing. An experience though. I'd love to drive one agian. |
