It’s been 35 years since Fiat Chrysler Automobiles also known as FCA (then Chrysler Corporation) launched the very first minivan, a vehicle which revolutionized family transportation. Carrying the Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager nameplates, the minivan was a sales success and the company expanded its lineup in the late-1980s with the introduction of the luxury-variant Chrysler Town & Country. Since it’s introduction, 14.6 million minivans sold globally since late-1983. Over three decades later, the minivan still plays an important role in the FCA portfolio.
The MoparInsiders.com staff was in attendance back in February, when the Chrysler brand unveiled the 35th Anniversary of the Chrysler Pacifica at the Chicago Auto Show. At the time, Chrysler was closed-lipped about the cost of their new special edition minivan. The Dodge brand, on the other hand, didn’t show off their version to the public (since it goes against their performance brand marketing), even though the minivan continues to be the #1 selling nameplate for the brand.
Now FCA is ready to release the details of the 35th Anniversary minivans. Past Anniversary editions have been popular packages for the brands. So let’s take a look at the two different minivans and show you what exactly, each variant of the 35th Anniversary Package entails…
