Dodge Caravan
The Dodge Caravan and Dodge Grand Caravan are minivans manufactured by Chrysler. It was introduced in November 1983 for the 1984 model year along with sister models, the Chrysler Town and Country, and the Plymouth Voyager (later Chrysler Voyager). The first modern minivans, the Chrysler company minivans are credited with creating the entire market segment for these vehicles. The Chrysler twins were launched a few months ahead of the Renault Espace (the first MPV/minivan in Europe, first pitched to executives as a Talbot in 1979, but not launched until 1984), making them the first of their kind.
Since their introduction, the Chrysler minivans have been the best-selling minivans in the United States.
