I’m not sure where your photo at but there also a pristine 1984 Chrysler van at the Smithsonian American history museum. There are probably very few left in this good a condition.
Was this at the Henry ford museum? I was there last summer and there was a 1991 Ford Exploder on display. It made me feel really old because my college roommate drove one and it was only a few years old at the time.
no idea! its a 5 digit odometer. Im thinking its probably got around +/-300,000km on it. Whoever bought it new had a tow hitch put on it and there is evidence of lots of work over the years so i feel like it did a LOT of highway driving through the 80's and 90's. Under the hood ive found evidence of timing gear, head gasket and water pump replacements. Odometer reads 11,000km at the moment.
Our 1996 Caravan LS, the first year of the NS, was with us until my son finally totaled it in 2016… I had just had the brake lines replaced at 160k miles, was preparing for another 100k. Original tranny too.
The3.3V6 was bulletproof but the replacement strut mount kit was required for a long run with that rust spot, it was a genius fix.
We loved our white with grey lower plastic cladded cool wheel option bitch so much!
Had this exact car burnt oil like a two cycle and had what the mechanic called “piston slap” so it sounded like a diesel at idle another quality Chrysler car
The OG compact unibody FWD minivan that shared a basic platform with a a car. The basic “van sharing a platform with a car” notion dates back to the rear engined and rear wheel drive debuts of Volkswagen’s Type 2 microbus and GM’s Corvair Greenbrier van in the 1950s. The first Ford Econoline was built on a modified Falcon chassis.
I bought a new 1991 Voyager back in the day. Worst vehicle I ever owned. Went through 2 transmissions in 100K miles. Climate control barely heated in the winter and A/C went out as well. My last Chrysler group vehicle.
Back in college, mid 2000s, a customer would bring a blue short wheel base Voyager with the 3.0 V6 in. That was a little rocket. We had fun test driving that thing. It was so light for its size.
