This generation had no resemblance to the E-body models and begun in 1988. It had carried over most of the suspension and underbody characteristics from previous years of Chrysler’s innovation. The model had a more straight body styling just like the newly invented Dodge Dynasty. The New Yorker had a V6 engine, a 3.0liter powerplant borrowed from a Mitsubishi, and optional anti-lock brakes. In this generation, they rediscovered hidden headlamps and the models were offered in two trims, the Landau and Base trim.
In 1990, the stretched wheelbase version was the new brand offered and it entailed extra features of the Fifth Avenue which was a design on the recently dropped M-body platform. The short wheelbase New Yorkers remained as Landau while the brand new stretched wheelbase was called Salon. The Salon shared a grille with the Dodge, its headlamps were exposed, and had horizontal taillights, and was the rebadged Dynasty. All Chrysler models in this model year carried a 3.36 Liter V6 engine that was built by Chrysler. 1991 was the final year of Landau trim. The Salon models now had a hidden headlamp, Chrysler’s traditional grille, and vertical taillights. The new option was a 3.8 Liter V6 engine. For 1992, styling updates were made, coming up with a rounded rear and front. In this generation, the total units produced were 416,440.
