'''Chrysler New Yorker (R-body). 1979–81 (prod. 74,701). 4-door sedan. F/R, 225 in³ (I6 OHV), 318, 360 in³ (V8 OHV).''' Chrysler, with little money in the bank, revamps the B-body platform comprehensively and puts its full-size models on to it. R-body New Yorker still looked substantial, but it was in fact downsized, with 800 lb less weight. Fifth Avenue package introduced in 1979. Largest 360 in³ unit dropped after 1980. Not the best quality, and still heavy despite the downsizing.
