Summary

From 1964 to 1968, Chrysler built the New Yorker model, which flitted across many a television screen when it appeared in series such as "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", "The Green Hornet", "Mission Impossible" and "Batman". However, only a few people in this country were able to buy this noble automobile with its 7.2-liter V8, as it cost almost as much as six VW Beetles. This driving report presents a Chrysler New Yorker from 1966 and tells the story of the model in detail.

Preview (beginning of the article)

What do the TV series "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", "The Green Hornet", "Mission Impossible" and "Batman" from the sixties have in common? Yes, they were all adapted for the big screen in the new millennium. And in all these series, a Chrysler New Yorker of the time glided across the scene at some point (or more often). Not in a leading role, but the Chrysler was still impossible to miss, as it had truly opulent dimensions. At 5.56 meters long and 2.02 meters wide, it was one of the largest on local roads. The trunk alone was so spacious that four people could easily play cards in it, and for two it offered a more or less comfortable place to sleep when stretched out.
