My father bought a new 74 New Yorker in that same color, white vinyl top, and a very plush dark burgundy interior. Everybody in the family thought it was absolutely beautiful ..... except my mother, who would have driven it daily.
She refused to drive it, hated the color.
It sat in the garage for three weeks and never turned a wheel. My father ended up taking it back to the dealer, and traded it on a 74 Imperial 4dr, Chestnut metallic, tan top, and brown striped cloth interior. That one met her approval. I missed out on the chance to buy the Imperial back about 8 years ago. It was still in very good condition, and being offered at an estate auction.
Still kick myself for that. The only thing I have of that car is the window sticker, and a couple pictures.
