In 1956, Chrysler christened this model year "PowerStyle" and it was one of the design works of Virgil Exner. The New Yorker gained a new mesh grille, leather seats, PowerFlite selector, and a V8 with 280 hp (209 kW).

Redesigned with Virgil Exner's "Forward Look" at the cost of $300 million, the 1957 New Yorker had a powerful 392 CID (6.4 L) Hemi V8 engine rated at 325 horsepower (242 kW). This stylish car was a good seller with 10,948 built, but only 1,049 convertible models. The 1957 models also came with the TorqueFlite 3-speed transmission and Torison-Aire suspension that gave smoother handling and ride quality to the car. The New Yorker also sported fins somewhat similar to the Chevy Bel Air. The car came in two variations: the early model year production had single headlamps while late-1957s came with quad headlamps. TorqueFlite (also spelled Torqueflite) was the trademarked name of Chrysler Corporations three-speed automatic transmission, which was introduced late in the 1956 model year. ... 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air The Chevrolet Bel Air was a series name of automobile produced by Chevrolet, a division of United States from the 1950 through 1976 model years. ...

The new for 1969 New Yorker was a premium version of a full-size V8 automobile, available as a two or four door hardtop, four door sedan, and Town and Country Station Wagon, competing against high end Buicks, Oldsmobiles and Mercurys. The so called "fuselage" styling featured on all full size Chrysler products remained relatively unchanged until the introduction of the 1974 models which featured a far more massive slab sided effect. These 1974 models timed to coincide precisely with the 1973 OPEC oil embargo, and were a significant part of Chrysler's economic woes in the late 70's. In fact the 1974 models were the last full-size models Chrysler would ever design from the ground up, as the short lived 1979-81 R-bodies were stretched versions of the old mid-sized B-bodies. Chrysler, as the corporation's only division without a smaller "personal" size model, suffered worse than most, stimulating the introduction of the new Chrysler Cordoba, and later LeBaron models.

In 1976, the New Yorker inherited the front and rear end styling of the discontinued upscale Imperial, and its interiors as well. The styling cues formerly used on the 1974 and 1975 New Yorkers in turn were passed on to the base Chrysler Newport. It is interesting to note that Chrysler was the only “upscale” model to never recover its full size model sales to pre-energy crisis levels. Oldsmobile, Buick, & Cadillac eclipsed their old records in 1976, the last year before their downsizing, and continued to sell extremely well until the next gas crisis in 1979. Lincoln and Mercury benefited from any backlash from GM downsizing and set new records in 1977-78. Sales of the Newport and New Yorker continued to decline. The full size Chrysler line remained virtually unchanged until the advent of the downsized 1979 models.

The Chrysler Fifth Avenue began as a submodel of the New Yorker in 1979, after the nameplate was shifted to the Chrysler R platform. The R-body series was a "Pillared Hardtop". The NYR now used the 318 V8 and the 360 engine was optional. While shorter and much lighter than the previous generation, these cars still had a big car look and ride. Hidden headlamps and full width taillights distinguished it from its R-body siblings Newport, St. Regis and Gran Fury. A Fifth Avenue "Limited Edition" was offered mid-1980 and included a stainless steel roof cap and smaller rear window. Other than exterior colours and fabrics there were virtually no changes. The example in the accompanying photo is shown with its headlamp-concealing doors in the open position.

A new K-car variant was introduced as the New Yorker moved to the front-wheel drive Chrysler E platform, the beginning of the extended K-car years. It was closely related with its siblings; the Dodge 600, Chrysler E-Class (which was to last just two model years), and the Plymouth Caravelle. The E-platform New Yorker came with "state of the art" 1980s technology, featuring a digital dashboard and the infamous Electronic Voice Alert ("The door is ajar"). Among other standard features, was a Landau vinyl roof, complete with electro luminescent opera lamps.

The "New" New Yorker was bigger (see Chrysler C platform) and bore no resemblance to the E-body Turbo New Yorker (now in its final year), although sharing most underbody and suspension components. It shared the formal body with its Dodge Dynasty sibling. The new version also had a V6 engine - a Mitsubishi-sourced 3.0 liter V6 powerplant. It was available in the base trim level or in Landau trim which had a rear quarter vinyl top treatment.

The last generation of the New Yorker continued with front-wheel drive on an elongated version of the new Chrysler LH platform and was shown at the 1992 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. It was released along with the nearly identical Chrysler LHS for the 1994 model year, a year after the original LH cars: the Chrysler Concorde, Dodge Intrepid, and Eagle Vision, were introduced. For 1995, the New Yorker received Chrysler's new logo on its grille, which replaced the old pentastar. Chrysler gave the New Yorker a more "traditional American" luxury image, and the LHS a more European performance image (as was done with the Eagle Vision), but in reality the two only differed by the New Yorker's chrome exterior trim, column shifter, front bench seat, and fewer standard features. This is why after 1996, the New Yorker name was dropped, in favor of a six-passenger option on the more-popular LHS.
