Equity Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I own a 1974 Chrysler New Yorker Broughm 6 Door Limo, I am interested in finding out more information on it. I was told by my father only 8 ever went into production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JACK M Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 I love that heavy metal stuff. If you look at the chassis you will probably see where it has been reinforced. ALOT !! Does it just have three rows of seats or is it fancied up more than that? Here's an eight door that passed thru my hands a few years ago. This one was referred to as an Airporter, Four rows of seats and the wagon and roof for luggage. Wouldn't be surprised if yours was used for the same.

TerryB Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 To know more about it you first have to determine who did the modifications to make it into what it is. From there you can research the history. There probably is a body tag somewhere, maybe under the hood, identifying the maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John_S_in_Penna Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I can't speak for the production numbers, but since they are specialty models for a limited use, production was undoubtedly very low in comparison to regular models. They were also probably quite expensive compared to ordinary cars, because an ordinary car had to be taken off the line and shipped to a specialty manufacturer, who likely did a lot of hand work. There isn't all that much demand for limousines and similar models, sorry to say. To Buick fans a year ago, I pointed out a similar vehicle, a circa-1978 Electra 6-door, that was for sale. It was in nice shape but didn't command much money--they were asking $6000 or so if I recall correctly. I think your car would gather quite a lot of interest at even a big car show. Its value is similarly modest, but that's a plus: It makes the hobby affordable and enjoyable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_S_in_Penna Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Mr. or Mrs. Equity, if you are interested in selling it, you could advertise in the magazine of The Professional Car Society, which focuses on limousines and hearses. http://www.theprofessionalcarsociety.org/ Even if you plan on keeping the nice Chrysler, that society might be able to put you in touch with someone who knows more about your model of car-- and maybe with someone who actually owns one!
