For 1960, New Yorker hadunibodyconstruction, the carry-over RB engine had an output of 350hp (261kW).

The New Yorker entered 1961 with a new grille, slanted headlights, a continental kit on the trunk lid. The 413 CID "RB" Golden Lion V-8 continued. This is the last of the "Forward Look" models. Chrysler built 2,541 New Yorker two-door hardtops this year, the last until 1964 in Canada and 1965 in the U.S.

The classic Chrysler fins no longer existed for 1962 and now only four-door models were offered as wagons sedans, and hardtops. The finless car was considered bizarre by many critics and sales were slow compared to its entry level sister car, the Newport which was identical in body style and offered a convertible model. The New Yorker was the last Chrysler to have a 126in (3,200mm) wheelbase.[23]

The 413 RB had a 4.1875 in (106mm) bore and was used from 1959-1965 in cars. During that period, it powered all Chrysler New Yorker and Imperial Custom, Crown, and Le Baron models, and was also available on the lesser Chryslers, as well as Dodge's Polara and Monaco, and the Plymouth Fury as an alternative to the 383-cubic-inch B series engine and/or the 318 Poly. With a compression ratio of 10:1, it developed 340hp (254kW) and 470lb⋅ft (637N⋅m) of torque in 1X4-Bbl trim.

Chrysler got a boost in sales in 1963 with the introduction of a five-year/50,000-mile warranty, a business practice that was unheard of by its competitors in the 1960s. The New Yorker used Chrysler's completely redesigned body with only the windshield showing traces of the previous Forward Look designs, although, under the skin, platform changes were near zero, with only a change from 12" Total Contact to Bendix 11" Duo-Servo brakes. A new, more luxurious Salon four-door hardtop was added at midyear as a trim package. Engine output was 340hp (254kW) and the wheelbase was now 122in (3,100mm).

Changes for 1964 included a new grille, larger rear window and small tailfins giving the car a boxier look from the side. Canadians were given the choice of a new two-door hard
