Chrysler minivans (indirect) Ford Aerostar (indirect)
The Ford Carousel (also spelled Carrousel[1]) is a prototype vehicle that was developed by Ford in 1973.[2] A derivative of the third-generation Ford Econoline/Club Wagon, the Carousel explored a number of the concepts that 1980s American-market minivans later put into production, serving as an alternative to both full-size station wagons and passenger vans.
Called a "garageable family van",[3] the Carousel featured two-box design (as opposed to the one-box configuration of the Volkswagen Microbus) and three-row forward-facing seating.
Designed and styled by Dick Nesbitt (designer of the Ford Mustang II[4]), the Carousel prototype was built for Ford by Carron & Company of Inkster, Michigan.[5]
