Subject:      Chrysler Invention? (minivans)

I don't mean to start an anti-Chrysler campaign but I am getting kinda tired of seeing these claims that they invented the mini-van. I just checked out the newest issue of Automobile magazine and they had a section devoted to these vans which stated "The first and still the best". I remember seeing a commercial not too long ago where they were showing all of these supposed firsts of Chrysler (first SUV, etc.) and included minivans showing this old panel truck as thier example. Is this false advertising or what? I mean we know who invented the minivan so how can Chrysler go around and tell everybody that they did it and they claim that the first van was some kinda sorry lookin' panel truck? The last time I rode in one of those things I got claustrophobia and car sick. Not the first and definitely Not the best. Sorry for the rant. Ken Wilford John 3:16
