The Ford Aerostar was Ford's first attempt at building a minivan, and was introduced as a 1986 model in mid-1985. The Aerostar was distinguished by using a modified pickup truck chassis integral to its unibody construction. The aerodynamic styling was similar to the Ford Taurus, which was introduced at the same time. The Aerostar was sold until 1997, when it was replaced by the Ford Windstar.
The Aerostar was a rear wheel drive vehicle, unlike the pioneering Chrysler minivans. This compromised interior space somewhat but provided superior towing ability.
The Aerostar was produced at Ford's St. Louis, Missouri assembly plant.
