Plymouth Voyager LE
Chrysler turned van space into a car-sized family machine with front-wheel drive, a flat floor and seats that could come out.

Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
Production of Chrysler's new minivans began in November 1983 for the 1984 model year. The Voyager LE tested by Car and Driver used the optional Mitsubishi 2.6-litre engine, three-speed automatic and seven-passenger seating. This profile therefore says 1984 even though the first examples were built and sold late in 1983.
Look a little closer.
At 175.9 inches long, the original Voyager was shorter than many family sedans, yet removing its rear seats turned it into a tall cargo box.

A van that behaved more like a car
Conventional American vans used trucklike rear-drive frames. The Voyager combined a transverse engine, front-wheel drive, low step-in height and compact width, so families could park and see out of it much like a passenger car.

The brochure and road test both identify a 1984 Voyager. Historical production began in November 1983, which explains why the vehicle is often called a 1983 introduction. Joyride labels the actual model year and keeps the calendar date in the subtitle.
