Chrysler used the Salon nameplate in two distinct eras. The first was a brief 1963–1964 run on the senior New Yorker, where the Salon was a four-door hardtop positioned as an especially well-equipped luxury flagship. It was introduced partway through the 1963 model year and emphasized a long list of standard comfort and convenience features, making it one of Chrysler’s most upscale offerings of the period. After a short production run, the Salon disappeared.
The name returned for 1990 on the front-wheel-drive New Yorker, where it identified the lower-trim version of the lineup. In that form, the Salon was closely related to the Dodge Dynasty and served as a conservative, mainstream luxury sedan rather than a halo model. Chrysler updated it for 1991 and again for 1992, then continued it through 1993, after which the New Yorker series moved on to a new generation. Because the Salon name was revived after a long gap, it should be treated as a nameplate with multiple production periods rather than one continuous model run.
