What is this limo?

This car was used at my uncle's wedding about 12 or so years ago. It looks like some kind of slightly stretched Chrysler, but when I was younger I thought it was a Cadillac. At the time people seemed quite impressed by this American limo (though it doesn't look like much compared to the limos around these days), the best man joked "I heard a pair Elvis Presley's underparts were found in it!"

Appears to be an '82-'84 Chrysler New Yorker/E-Class with the Turbo 2.2L I4.

I don't believe that come stock. Someone had to put in a larger engine. It's not hard since the Dynasty/New Yorker had the larger engine and they're all based on the K-Car.

Yes, I believe it's called a Chrysler Executive Limousine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrysler_Executive
Production run was 1983-1986 (the first and last years were only limited production), 1700 were made (including 2 prototypes made in 1982). Although none of them came with a 3.1 litre engine, just a 2.2 and a 2.6 litre. I don't know the exact year of the one in the picture (an import) but it wasn't registered in the UK until 1992. It uses that special Q-reg plate (given to vehicles of indeterminate age and origin) instead of a K-reg (1992-93) Apparentely it's still on the road today.

Eh, I was close. It is a Chrysler Executive Limo. I'd say it's an '83/'84 because I believe the front fascia was restyled in '85 along with the other Chrysler offerings (Lebaron, etc.)

It's a Chrysler for sure. Somewhere in the mid to late 80's.

It's already been identified, so why are people saying "uhhh, I think it's an 80s Chrysler".

Thanks! I already did one a while back In the Contributions. It's the 'Blair Witch 2 Book of Shadows' one. Have I got it right?
