In 61 chevy made the greenbrier which was corvair based.But first minivan would be the vw bus.
True, but this would have beat the Greenbriar by 3 years, and it has styling and interior appointments much more in tune with automobiles of the day than either the Greenbriar or the VW. (The main advance Chrysler had was building a van that drove and felt pretty much like a car.) If it had been built with 4WD available this Jeep van would have been even further ahead of the curve.

The Toyota Previa was the first mini van I remember seeing but looking it up the Caravan predates it a few years and the Aerostar was between them.
This Jeep though does look really cool, even better than most of the early mini vans.
