As part of the long list of creations from
the Ford Motor Company, Ford, the brand, has come up with its own unique
list of vehicles crafted to make an impact on each person that it has
come in contact with. One of these is a minivan that was produced and
sold by the company from 1995 to the year 2003 bearing the name Ford
Windstar. This was introduced in 1995 as a replacement for the brand's
first minivan which was the Aerostar. However, come 2004, this model was
replaced by the Freestar. This vehicle was made available with a 3.0 L
and a 3.8 L V6 engines.
Originally, this vehicle's project code
name was supposed to be WIN88 which stood for "wagon intermediate, North
America". Speculations have it that it was this code, WIN88, which had
inspired the name Windstar. Later, ensuing redesigns and revamps for
this Ford Windstar for the years 1999 and 2001 had then used VN, which
then stood for "van, North America", for its code name.
While it was still being made available
in the market, the Ford Windstar has undergone two major changes in its
crafting and design. Four years after it was introduced, the update was
made on its overall shape. It was made to look more modern and sportier.
Its grille was also altered to a grid array. Also, the window posts that
could be located between the front and side doors were hidden away from
view. Come the year 2001, the company rejuvenated the Ford Windstar by
changing its grill once again by using a tighter array of smaller
rectangles this time around.

As per the Ford Windstar's drive
through history, this minivan was introduced to the market as a
replacement for the
Ford Aerostar. And come 2003, the Ford Windstar that had replaced
the Ford Aerostar had then been replaced, this time by the Ford Freestar.
Ford claims and asserts that the Ford Freestar is all new, in essence,
this "new" model is an updated Windstar. The name has been changed,
however, it is this platform's third generation vehicle.
