Oh My Gosh! I Found a SURVIVING Ford Aerostar!!! #carreview #ford #aerostar #survivor #fordaerostar

Ford Aerostar
1980s1985youtube

For the longest time, since I have been doing this channel, and since I started reviewing older surviving cars, the Aerostar was one of the ones I have been wanting to film for a long time. The sad reality of it is, there just aren't a lot of them around anymore in really nice shape. Rust or fire was the main cause of their extinction, but also they were simply bought and used how they were intended; a family or cargo hauler, and, they slowly dissapeared off the roads. Now, here I am, thanks in part to a post on Facebook's Underappreciated Survivor's Page, that I am here with this Ford Aerostar! Aerostar production was from 1985-1997 and ran for a single generation, however, conception was mid 70's with Ford Engineers wanting a garageable family van that was smaller in stature than the full-size Econoline, but retained the same built Ford tough idea. With a design freeze established around 1978 with the Ford Carousel concept van, and ultimately ending up on the auto show floor with the Concept Aerostar in 1984. The first Aerostar rolled off the assembly line on June 15, 1985. Production ran all the way to August 22, 1997, produced solely at the Saint Louis Assembly Plant in Hazlewood, Missouri. The Aerostar Plant produced 2,029,577 vans in total, and ultimately passed the baton to its successor, the Ford Windstar, a full-unibody, front-wheel drive minivan. Our van was produced in March of 1994. In addition, if you are in need of a digital brochure for your vehicle or are just interested in vehicle brochures, be sure to check out Dezo's Garage!
