The year was 1983; the month was November.
Guess what started being sold?
Yup, thats right, the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyageur.
For 30 years, the minivans from Chrysler have gone thru 5 generations but it IS still the champion in the class of vehicles that Lee Iacocca created. Competitors like the Ford Aerostar, Ford Windstar, Ford Freestar (god, Ford failed big time!), the GMC Safari/Chevy Astro, Pontiac Montana/Chevy Uplander, Nissan Quest, Mazda MPV, and the VW Eurovan have all been dropped by product lineups in North America, but the Caravan is still made in Windsor, Ontario where it has been for 30 years.
To think, Henry Ford II could of had it...
