Voyager III is the mullet of vehicles: Smart Car up front, Pontiac Transport in the back 😄
Homer Simpson approved.
Reminds me of a vehicle you would find in Power Rangers in Space.
I kind of like it.
Why can't somebody make a vehicle like that except one piece is an electric commuter while the larger bit is a very sporty big displacement high horsepower engine...
The mother in law module. So Chrysler was trying to make an IRL Car Built For Homer?
That car became the Dodge Intrepid with FWD and a V6
* Eagle Vision. Dodge and Chrysler had their own LH cars.
@@mwinner101 Eagle Vision is the same as the Intrepid. Like how the Talon is the same as the Plymouth Laser. Badge engineered. They’re all based on the old Renault chassis.
@@boss12 LH platform is based on Renault?!?
@@jareknowak8712 Renault 25
@@boss12 Thanks Boss!
Dodge: It's called an Eagle Optima.
Kia: Hmmmm, "Optima", yeah, I'll just take that...
Chrysler's fault for not registering it
I always said they stole it from Nissan kinda, Altima /Optima, Sentra / Elantra I don’t think it was no coincidence imitation is the finest form of flattery.
With a V8 too! I laughed so hard
They called it the stratus
@@jo-qp7mz Dodge Intrepid.
Sweet! I remember seeing that monstrous minivan/car at the 1990 Los Angeles auto show too. I have a VHS tape that I shot with my camcorder back then when I was 17 years old. But nothing to play it on.
A few years back I went to Walgreens and had my vhs 📼 recordings transferred to DVD 📀. Not sure if they still do but I’m sure you could find online.
I’m sure you can find a VHS player for like $5
Start hunting the local Goodwill stores, or skip all that and hit up eBay
🤔"cam--corder" ..🤔"vee-h-ess" what are these ancient things you speak of?? lol! Yeah, I got a bunch of ol 8mm camcorder tapes and nothing to play them on!
@@anthonychihuahua had 8 mm transferred as well
0:41 That Daytona R/T concept still looks as wicked cool to me now as a 51 year old as it did when I saw it as a 20 year old. Chrysler Corp design under Tom Gales designs rocked the 90s.
The Daytona was sharp.
I agree. I'm 30 years old.
In this VDO, I like 0.41.
I’m glad I saw this comment because I had to go back to see it. That is a great looking car.
It actually looks like you could build that if you wanted too. It kind of just looks like a wide bodied Iroc Daytona.
2:20 Pontiac Fieros recalled once again for engine fires lol
Sweet Lord, take me back to the 90s. From the start.
All I wanna do is go back to these simpler times
I think the same almost every day as well
Nostalgia is a funny thing. I'm sure that's what the people in the 90s thought about the 60s as well. One thing is certain. Cars are better nowadays
@@maltefester2018 like Jim halpert would say “I wish we knew when we were in the good times “
Back when all of life's problems could be solved with a roundhouse kick.
what, 2020?
We need that Plymouth Voyager 3 in production
Such an awesome childhood I had, don't know why on earth I wanted to rush to be an adult
Ikr
My parents had one of these “cab forward” designed cars! The Chrysler Concorde! I went to my Jr. Prom in it, days after they bought it new, in 1994!. It looked super futuristic, and it was actually really comfy. Can’t say details tho. What happened in ‘94, stays in ‘94! Hahaha
Also, those LH cats were NEVER offered w/ a v8 hahaha Chrysler trippin’ V8?? it only came with the V-6!!!
Everything "Cab forward" was a pain to work on.
@@zerocool5395 battery is in the wheel well if I remember right. Can you imagine if this actually came with that v8 and 5 speed they showed? I would have actually enjoyed that.
@@Stj209 Took me FOREVER to find the battery the first time lol. Terrible cars imo.
@@zerocool5395 well your opinion is wrong imo
They should have at least made the front of half they would have beat the smart by at least 15 years. Gem cart.
Chrysler was part of Daimler so the smart car is theirs.
You mean the "smart" that was a complete and total failure?
@@ryanroberts1104 pretty sure they're still selling really well in Europe. I thought it would be the perfect car for pizza delivery.
Came for the thumbnail.
👍
Lol same
and not disappointed!
The hair. The shoulder pads. The 80's.
I dont think that level of hair frizz is even possible now.
Except that this was 1990.
@@bikes7777 The 80s did a good job of spilling over into 1990 and some of 1991 as well
@@bikes7777 the 80's continued into the early 90's before 'grunge' got its start. Not sure your DOB, but for those of us who where there as working professional adults, this was the rage, for the sexes.
@@tomwebber5094 I was born in 1968, so I remember "fondly" LOL
The Voyager III is actually a great concept. Make a couple design tweaks and it's pretty perfect for the modern era.
This nostalgia feel is craaaazyy! Thanks for the upload
That Eagle concepto was a dream 🤩🤩
A detachable vehicle built by Chrysler. What could go wrong?
🤣 i can only imagine
The reattachment.
@@georgestoudamire6303 exactly lol
Lol I remember reading about that one in The World’s Worst Concept Cars by Craig Cheetman
You hate greatness!
If they produced that 32v V8 in Vision or Intrepid, would have been something.
Who needs V8 in FWD?
@@jareknowak8712 ask ford they did exactly that
@@Oemg35 and what a sucess it was!!!
Ohh then GM did the same thing, a 5.3 FWD. AND WHAT A SUCCESS IT WAS!!!!!! 🤣
@@ProbeGT2 the 5.3 was a short run. Just about all Cadillac’s were fwd in the 90s with the 4.6 North Star.
So much radness in one video I can barely take it! 😎😎😎
I remember seeing the voyager 3 in a book as a kid and geeking out over it
I love these videos!
Don't forget your Fiero recall folks..if you forgot back in 1990. Lol I love these retro reviews.
All I want is that Jeep Wrangler YJ Islander sitting in the back corner at 1:48
missed that the first time...those were cool!
That Eagle Optima was definitely the precursor to the Dodge Intrepid. The production model was much better proportioned than the concept.
Eagle Vision?
the eagle optima looks like a hot wheels
The dodge intrepid ended up looking like a door wedge, and had the reliability of a fiat. It was just awful compared to the eagle concept car.
Just a few months ago I saw a Fiero on side of highway on fire!
Are you sure it wasn't a Tesla?
fully insured of course:)
I saw all of these cars at the Detroit auto show that year of 1990, I still have some of the pictures of the concepts that went into production.
Haha I had an 85 fiero...that I dont think got the recall work done lol
1:06 smartcar
Am I the only one amazed that the lavender pickup never went into full production?
I'm not. By 1992, the market had complete changed: the bottom fell out of lavender and the hot color was teal blue.
@@rpm773 We can laugh at teal but in the 90s would we have believed that some day many cars would only be available in black, white, silver and gray?
Lavender, no, but ford did produce in 1992 a color called "iris' you could order the flareside in. I own a 92 flareside in iris and its basically a deep pink.
@@rightlanehog3151 I know what you mean. But the colors are coming back, thankfully. I'd never drive a yellow car, but I can appreciate their existence, providing a little variety
@@rpm773 Common cars used to be available in around 12-16 colors. Sometimes there were more choices and that was at a time when orders were processed by hand. Car brochures had an exterior color page that looked like the Sherwin-Williams chart at the paint store. BTW white, black and gray are not colors, they are the absence of color.
The Eagle Optima was a 1998-2004 Chrysler Concorde
Some truly awesome cars
I love when the do retro auto shows!
The voyager 3 looks like it could collapse in the middle at any point during a long drive!
that plymouth reminded me of the pontiac trans sport/chevy lumina apv/ olds silhouette
My neighbor's Fiero actually caught fire in their driveway in the 90's!
I hope they keep me updated on that recall
Thanks for reminder...I should have my fiery fiero checked out
Miss going to the Toronto auto show
The Voyager 3 is interesting but would have had so many failing points. Interestingly, it looks really similar to a Pontiac Tran Sport.
Wow that van was awesome but I never did see one on the road I wanted to drive one of those I wonder how many were made must be a rare van family
This is the Disco Volante of the Plymouth from the James Bond film series were the part of the cocoon back was detached for camping and the front for the car for traveling.
I remember watching this new and thought that Voyager was cool and space age. Reminded me of the older concepts from Detroit. Imagine calling anything the mother in law today though. Haha. nice to see the Fiero again, though I preferred the GT variant. I actually saw one on the road recently in my neighborhood. Blast from the past for sure. Back then the Japanese cars were everywhere and beating this car though. RX-7's, Prelude's, Supra's, Z's, Celica's, MR2's and others. What a time for sport coupes compared to what is popular now.
This woman is like an early 90s version of Kate McKinnon.
The legend is here 🙌
Amanda Bearse in married with children. it's uncanny
No. No she isn't. She really isn't.
Cept not a lebian
Lookin like Al Bundy’s neighbor, Marcy...
I see the Plymouth Voyager III was inspiration for the production of the Chevy Lumina/Pontiac Trans Porter/Oldsmobile Silhouette vans of the early 90s. A lot of design cues were borrowed, particularly in the rear. It's funny when the car detaches from the rest of the cab, it looks a lot like a Smart Car. I also see that the Dodge Daytona R/T Concept was the inspiration for the Dodge Stealth R/T/Mitsubishi 3000GT that would be coming just a year later. And lastly, who could forget the "Cab Forward" design language that would actually make production like the host said by 1992. The Dodge Intrepid/Chrysler Concorde/Chrysler New Yorker/Eagle Vision would be the recipients for this new design language that would last all through the rest of the 90s into the early 2000s.
The Pontiac Trans Sport was already on new car lots when this auto show took place.
I was able to see this at the Chicago auto show.
Dude I want that Voyager III
All aluminum 32 valve V8...
Fitting Cylinder on Demand would have been the piesta de resistance of this vehicle.
This is sick! 0:37
Plymouth Voyager III = The "Homer" as a minivan
Oh man I was there at this one! oh the LH sedans....hah!
I miss the days of concept vehicles.
The shifter on that Optima is ......unique.
eagle optima concept became the dodge intrepid for sure lol
Hahahaha perfect we got to see a Pontiac Recall be announced in the wild.
Concept cars were so cool back then
Did the mother-in-law module came with an ejection sheet or would you have to sacrifice the whole rear unit?
If that lady walked down the street with that hair today, people would think she was insane.
I used to love watching her and Al Bundy cut one other down on Married With Children.
Ngl that Eagle Optima sounded like it would be a great contender against the Olds Aurora
0:37 I wonder if that was “going to be” the new front wheel drive mustang
And became the Probe.
This is when auto show's were auto show's! Miss those days. Concept vehicles use to be the stars of the show....but sadly not much more. Did someone say they wanted another SUV?
A V8 powered Eclipse would be pretty bad ass.
The thumbnail is basically the Homer car from the Simpsons. And I would buy it.
0:45 Transformers ... Robots in disguise - I'm onto to you Megatron, I know all your tricks !!!!
That Optima - Dodge Stealth Sedan.
0:13 those rostrums so protruding in the bumper are ugly to see
Plymouth: guys! We just made a 6 wheeled van!
Mercedes: bro! lol hold my caviar
So did the Eagle Optima become the Dodge Intrepid?
Dude said shoulder pads hahahaha
I daily drive a lh 2001 300m. Still one of the most comfortable cars i own.
I daily drive a 1999 300M (built 5/98, first registration 7/98 in Germany). It's my long distance car, though, and like the Voyager III front part, it runs on LPG.
@@andypre1667 i own a 2014 srt 300 and in many ways I prefer driving my m
I wonder if the concept of a Voyager III would have better chances today with the market wanting larger sized vehicles and the increase usage of vehicles for long distance recreational purposes. The cargo area could be left stored in a regular garage, which is a big issue for homes today that have little space. Of course, the design would require looking more like an SUV and not mini van to have any success.
The partition created by the "car"'s rear window would be a problem for families. It's two completely separate compartments, and I can imagine the problems that would ensue if there was no way for parents to intervene when the kids get into a fight in the back.
The Eagle Optima is really stunning. If Chrysler was serious about making Eagle a true premium car compliment to Jeep, they would have done well to invest in getting it to production largely unchanged, instead of merely selling a twin of the other LH cars at Jeep/Eagle dealers.
what was always odd to me was that Chrysler got two and Plymouth got none.
That chics hair though!!
Lisa was hot back then!
After reporting from the Auto show did she head over to the Mary Kay convention at the airport Hilton?
I wonder if you can disconnect the mother in law module at speed ? 🤔
Pontiac Fiero recalls. Hmm. I think I should do a joke at GM's expense. The Pontiac Fiasco! It's so hot, it catches on fire!
So the car you are driving now was a concept car 30 years ago.
If the voyager 3 had a roof top pull ball for a camper.
2:12 take note Ronald Finger
1990's chrysler: 1000 cars n concepts, a simple explanation..
"Based on the new LH platform"
Shit what wasn't based on the LH platform? I can see the c.e.o saying : I've just had a grandson born his name is Luther Harvey he is based on the LH platform
no we should have put that in production , so roomy, twin turbo in back , propane was why the oil kings said no . it exists some that makes me happy
Is that Marcy from married with children?? :)
I was going to ask the same question. I think it is.
Marci from Married with children
A propane engine?
Hank Hill sure would’ve bought a Voyager III.
I was hoping to see VW. They sold few, had the coolest cars 90-92.
I want the van
The Fiero . . . an '80s relic, the automotive equivalent of a Members Only Jacket. 😥
That chicks hair is hilarious
The Eagle should’ve remained up to today
I honestly would've bought the Plymouth Voyager III
Eagle Optima became dodge intrepid and that eagle v8 never saw the light of day
Voyager = smart car design
I never saw this episode of Married with Children 🤔
who else saw the 6 wheel dustbuster van and clicked?
Retro recalls.
what Happened to LISA ???? from the Show ?
I've seen this lady somewhere? 🤔 Oh yeah! She used to live next door to Al Bundy!
