These are the 6 greatest van prototypes of all time — via drivingdotca
Minivans have fallen out of favour in the last couple of decades, going from a common find in suburbia to the domain of people who would write “very practical and organized” if asked to list their strengths on a job application.
RELATED These 5 wild concept cars went from turntable props to living life full-speed From an armada of minivans to just 5 contenders Plymouth Voyager IIIWe’re kicking off our list with this concept van that first appeared at the Chicago Auto Show in 1990. Building on the rampant success of its minivans, Chrysler showed off this design and engineering exercise that offered an 11-seat vehicle for when you have to schlep a crowd, and a tiny three-cylinder runabout for when you don’t.
Created from a cache of Lamborghini parts and powered by the very same V12 engine found in the mighty Countach, this wild minivan concept with both gullwing and sliding doors was shown on the auto show circuit in the late ’80s. It apparently consumed over 30,000 man-hours of work at Bertone, culminating in this front-engine 455-hp people mover.
Ford CarouselYou know that feeling when, as a kid, you have a good idea but Dad won’t let you see it through? That’s essentially the story of the Carousel. Most students of automotive history know that Lee Iacocca and the engineers at Chrysler turned the industry on its ear with the introduction of the original Magic Wagons.
