"1985 Chrysler Advertisement, "We Make the Most Advanced Family Wagon in America"
Add to SetSummary
In this 1985 ad, Chrysler touted its minivans and their success in leading the industry to a new market segment. Introduced in 1983, Chrysler's minivans catered to baby boomers and their families. The minivan provided van-like space but with car-like drive and comfort. The front-wheel-drive vehicle could seat seven, and its sliding door and low floor provided easy step-in access.
