This Week’s Klockau Lust Object: 1973 Chrysler New Yorker Brougham

Here we go again! Another Brougham Era Brougham, with gargantuan size, room, gas-sucking 440 CID powerplant hitched to a creamy smooth TorqueFlite automatic, and exceedingly plush interior you can sleep eight people in! This week’s find is being sold by my friend Anthony Rose, who sells vintage Broughamage, and not so vintage Broughamage, like a…

Canadian 1969 Dodge Monaco: Top Dog Dodge

ED: Another one from ‘The Vault.’ Thought it was appropriate since we were just discussing silver interiors recently! I love Fuselage Mopars. As the 1969-73 full-size Mopars, from basic Plymouth to top-drawer Imperial, are affectionately known by collectors.

1973 Plymouth Fury Sport Suburban: Family Truckster

I don’t know about you, but I have always loved woody station wagons.

1971 Chrysler New Yorker Coupe – I’m In A New Yorker State Of Mind

Today, we discuss the early 1970s Chrysler New Yorker. Yes, the “Fuselage” full-size Mopars, which were first introduced in autumn 1968 as ’69 models. It was a brand new look for the big Mopars, which had been rather square-rigged from 1965 to 1968. But now, from Plymouth to cream-of-the-crop Imperial, curviness and smooth lines were…

1969 Plymouth Fury III – Furious Fuselage

It’s funny, ever since I stopped regularly writing two years or so ago, I keep stumbling on old photo files and finding cars shot years ago that I totally forgot about. Whenever I see an interesting old car, I get all excited and think “I will write this up tonight! It’s so cool!” Then three…
