I don't understand how people went from this to SUVs. This is so much better at hauling and also styling. I own a 05 town and country, and this van is amazing. I can't see myself getting rid of it for a ridiculous SUV.
Yeah, SUVs nowadays are so overdone and too complex.
Same. I love my 1998 Dodge Grand Caravan Sport. It only has 60,000 kilometers on it.. or 37,000 miles lol
@JK-tq4qf I'm just upset that Dodge or Chrysler never gave those vans more engine versions such as a V8 and variants like what the chargers have and have a sporty more aggressive look and a European clean style interior like high end luxury cars I've always pictured that.
The folk you mention that opt foolishly for an #SUV over a #Minivan here in The States are likely the same ones that also belive #Narcissist45.....#Trump's good for #America! 💯🙏
@bulbman7080 You hit the nail on the head because who else ditches a make sense van for SUVs and more funny a pickup truck? How did that become a family mover? A work truck beyond not sexy.
We had the 1996 caravan up until 2010 when we got rid of it...I remember I loved it when I was a kid haha
Dodge were ahead of their times in 1996 with the 3rd generation Dodge Grand Caravan. Too bad they never make minivans like they used to.
Video is from 1995, per the description. Not literally 1996.😂🤦♂️
This is so much cooler than today’s high tech minivans😂😂😂
so true i love the 1996-2000 body style the only thing im pissed about is its hard to find the bright red one in good shape
I'm going to buy used cars from 2008 to 2014 and i hope that I can buy this van because the hi tech minivans sucks because is boring and ruin your childhood! So only used cars and besides the hi tech minivans are expensive!
@@mauriziomonaco6445 true and these are easy to make money off of sense if there cosmetic nightmares there really cheep and if you can make em look nice you should be able to make 2200 bucks easy from what ive seen
I would rather be in this one. Then the hot garbage today.
No
That seating arrangement got me. Limousine space for caravan money!!!
Right? The ones with stow and go back and middle seats were awesome for that reason. Like the 2005
Here I go again watching 90’s promotional videos, next is the 9300 Steiger
I’m just heading out to buy a 96 caravan today , one owner and under 190,000kms .... after this video I’m stoked !!
My dad owned the short wheelbase LE with the 3.8 V6 in candy apple red. Best van ever! 0-60 in 9.9 seconds!
Wtf I want a caravan now
My dad used to have a 1999 Grand Caravan in blue.
It probably doesn’t even exist anymore :(
That's an amazing car.
It's usual to see plenty of these that are trashed on the inside.
Yeah it’s really sad, people don’t respect them until they are barely around anymore and it’s too late.
@@ChryslerHyper 💯
The tailights on the 1996-2000 Plymouth Voyager, Plymouth Grand Voyager, Dodge Caravan, Dodge Grand Caravan and Chrysler Town & Country tailights look like Popsicles
Yeah i once licked a taillight on a 98 to see if was cherry flavor 😂
@@JackVegetables18 🤣
@@JackVegetables18I licked the ones on a late 90s Durango and it tasted quite similar
I just bought a used 1999 grand caravan and I didn't know that the middle seats folds down.
That sure is a neat minivan. The built-in child seats are especially a clever idea. Any car or even truck these days should have that feature. Better than having to worry about the hassle of installing and removing your average car seat time and time again. Edward Herrmann was an excellent choice to be a spokesperson for Dodge. He's such an excellent speaker and not only that an excellent actor. He's a very classy guy. I love him
That would be awesome for babysitting/coming home and living your life not having to take up space in your car for the child seat
I have this VHS tape and was planning to upload it, but you beat me to it! RIP Edward Hermann (narrator)
Please post it,
If you want to upload a higher quality recording of this, you are welcome to. This video I uploaded is only in 480p30, before I started upscaling and deinterlacing tape correctly. If you record yours and upscale it before uploading, you can remove some of the TH-cam compression (like the messy black block compression artifacts around the text during the intro sequence)
jeppthing98 please post your 1996 Dodge Caravan VHS
@@sheamileto598 It's the same video as this and I doubt it would be that much better in quality.
@@jeepthing98 please upload it
1997 Chrysler Town and country is the best minivan ever
Actually 1996
Acually the 2005. It has stow and go.
I like the 99 Grand Caravan ES! The styling is much better.
Those were good times
I remember getting one brand new in 1996 in forest green which was a big color at the time. It was the base model and had wind down windows and only one sliding door. It only has cassette player and radio, no CD. The transmission went bad in 2002 and we traded it.
Why does it seem like they just dont think about things anymore, I mean the feature where you can put 2x4s in the back is genius.
I know a few people who had these, my aunts neighbor and my uncle, my uncles was a 1997 model and I think my aunts neighbors was a 96, both good cars, I miss these a lot when they looked brand new, now a days these are extremely rusty.
I'm 37 now. Born in 1986 I grew up in the 90's always wanted one of these generation vans and I've had two now. Still have my 1998 Grand Caravan Sport with a whopping 60,610 kilometers on it now in beautiful condition. With how everything has been really since 9-11 life has never been the same and it really took a turn too with the pandemic. Just watching this video reminds myself and likely you other viewers of much simpler times of our lives back then and wish we could return to it. :) Another thing worth noting that is a little odd about these vans is, they added an interlock system for the fuel door but they didn't think to spend the extra 10 dollars per van to add in a gear shift interlock? Chrysler overlooked this for sure. How, who knows. But that's pretty careless on their part to just simply overlook that because it did cause a lot of hardship for some families.
We had a '95 Caravan years ago. Box style Caravan.
Actually 1996
Angel Bear 78 he said Box style, which was before 1996
My dad had the '90, even boxier! lmho
I want one now 😭
Beautiful
Car of the year motor trend !
Best generation!
If this 1996 Dodge Caravan video was done in the style of the 70s Chrysler Comparison videos putting it up against the Ford Windstar and the Chevy Lumina APV, what would the narrator say during the comparison scenes?
The Ford Windstar was a little more budget oriented, but ours still runs great today.
The voiceover sounds like Edward Herrmann, the Dad on Gilmore Girls.
I had that van at this time but may problema here in the Philippines are the parts, like a fuel injector its out of stock here , in our country, its hard for me to find that parts
Yeah, Dodge and Chrysler parts will disappear off the market fast. Toyota and Honda often keep their parts available for a while, but not Dodge.
Sold! Where do I pay?
3:31 ah yes, couple in the commercial handling those seats like nothing, meanwhile those seats are heavy as f ck
The styling on these was fresh and why they were so popular.
We had a 1997 Grand Caravan SE in Deep Amethyst.
Never liked how the dealer swap we did, resulted in them forgetting to include the factory keyless entry.
They reimbursed my dad and he ended up installing a dingy aftermarket 2-button Viper alarm.
I always hated that, because it seemed so cheap by comparison to the OEM alarm system, which every other Grand Caravan or T&C on the road had.
You could tell whether they had the factory keyless entry or not, by the missing keyhole on the rear sliding doors.
NS minivans without the keyless entry with key fob, had a sliding door keyhole instead.
They blew it after 07.
They are really good, it’s just that some of the lower-end trims are very bland and boring.
I hated the style after 2007
2:39
That kid scares me he looks like chucky
🤣
Where can I get music like the included on the video?? I know it sounds dumb, but none of the copyright free songs have this style, in fact, many of them sound awful and the music at this video sounds great, just like all the background music that the 90's VHS car reviews have.
No idea, I just recorded the video.
They are probably somewhere in the massive Network Music/Killer Tracks archives somewhere.
www.universalproductionmusic.com/en-hk/discover/albums/1203/Sunscapes It's the first song, "Welcome Back". Searched for 2 hours just to realize it got flagged in the description
www.firstcom.com/en-us/explore/albums/1259/Change-Of-Pace found another song. one more to go
dang, not finding the other song anywhere in the promotional albums from the time period
There is no way this was 5 years ago
Built in carseat?!
1:03............."The Dodge Grand Caravan: Once again, the best full-size minivan on the market".............um, OK!!!!!!!!!!!
my grandpa has a 2007 and its going to me
Is the van at 2:59 An SE Or LE?
Shea Mileto My guess is probably an LE, based on how the promos for the cars usually contain depictions from the most advanced cars to advertise all of the newest model's features. This is given that the LE is the most advanced Dodge Caravan at the time. I am not completely sure, as we bought a 1996 Ford Windstar instead. We still had the tape for this car!
@@debrebeuf8959 Is the Caravan or Grand Caravan the red one shown in this video?
I'm pretty sure it's just the caravan. This is just a demo tape for the dodge caravan, so I imagine that's what's shown.
@@debrebeuf8959 we had one too, a ‘96 Grand Caravan LE, bought used in June 2008 to replace an aging Aerostar, it only had 57,000 miles on it, we only had it for a short time, we got rid of it because the transmission was acting up
I’m pretty sure this is the Grand Caravan LE
1995-1996
1995. Nothing about this video is 1996, other than the titling. Cars always come out the year before.
Dang! Where were all these features for the RAM? 😳
In that time that i comes to the world 🤭💔
my mom had one of these
I want one 🙏
5:39
Yea right there, my capture card kinda failed a little bit. Tape was captured on an old capture card and it can't do fast transitions of light very well.
Noo cause they lieing The 1996 Dodge Caravan dont have passenger side Airbags
You lack common sense.
My grandmother had a 1995 plymouth Voyager and it had driver and passenger front airbags. Nearly all vehicles from 1994 and up have two airbags. My mother had a 1992 mercury sable wagon when I was a teen and it had one airbag, for the driver. My first vehicle, which I drove while attending a two year community college from 2013-2015 was a 1992 Pontiac Sunbird convertible, and it didn't have airbags, the seatbelts were attached to the doors. The "buckle " was an emergency release, the belts were to stay buckles and you more or less slide under them and when the door is closed, PRESTO! You were belted in. (This was sort of how it was explained in the owner's manual) Of course me being in my mid 20s partying on the weekends and what have you, I and everyone who rode with me used them just like a 3 point manual seat belt.
However, cars with this type of automatic seat belt system almost all of them GM models from 1989 - 1993, are considered to be death traps in a collision, because if the door popped open, a fairly common occurrence, the occupant would be pulled out of the car with the seat belt and suffer serious injuries or death.
@@Sparky-ww5re Perfectly stated. Your grandmother's van was among the first, when this generation was updated in August 1993 for 94.
Main change with the next generation models was a lower mounted dash position and hidden airbag door in the dash, which was pretty rare for the mid-90s.
Unfortunately typical GM with cheap solutions at all costs.
@@nwezetx1 thanks for the info. Wasn't sure the exact dates other than going by what I can sort of remember seeing as a child in the 1990s, born in 1989. I also remember the power shoulder belts with a separate manual lap belt. My Aunt Sandra had a maroon 1991 Mercury Topaz and it didn't have airbags, but it had the power shoulder belts for the driver and front passenger. She brought the car new in the spring of 1991 and kept it until I was in 7th grade, 2002, had it for 11 years. When I was really young I thought only rich people could afford cars with these power seat belts, and so one Christmas day was really bummed when I didn't get as many gifts as expected from my Aunt, thinking she was being a cheapskate 😂😂
Anyway, just going by what I remembered, it seems like around 1991 - '92 is when an airbag for the driver became popular, and a couple years later, two airbags. Fast forward a little more than 20 years and it's not uncommon to see cars with 8 or more airbags for additional protection in side collisions and rollovers.
We've certainly come a long way in vehicle safety systems in the last 35 years.
Oh its a minivan give me a break
A great minivan.
