That's not a Chrysler New Yorker, this is a Chrysler New Yorker

True Story.

Ford must have thought sag would catch on. They carried it deep into the 90's with the Taurus and Lincoln.

I knew a guy named Mike in public school, who's parents had a white one of these. This was circa 2002.

@worthless_cos: I have a picture of my first one on this computer, my wife is Japanese and I worked in Japan for a while and I found one there in 2001. I sold it back to the same guy later on. It was for sale again here in Japan:

@Scorpio GTX1: I love it, I swapped out most of the glass fibre parts and I think GRP for carbon, its all blackish now with no paint!

@Gimmi Mørgäikkönën: Heart-click for just being awesome enough to have a Caterham.

As an Caterham owner I can attest to this:
