Future classic: Mopar Minivans?!


I came across this story of the original Chrysler Minivans. Are they future classics? Perhaps. Showing up at your local cruise night would probably draw some weird stares. My grandmother had one of these. I remember coming back from two years in the army in 1987 and all over the road were Chrysler mini vans and Ford Taurus's(yuchh!). They were very functional and practical. Though (as the story get's into) they had an anemic powertrain. I was surprised opening the hood and finding a 4-banger inside. Times were tough for Chrysler then. This car is still around today. My wife has a 2000 Grand Caravan and she loves it(or least liking it better).
