Our old neighbours had an OG Grand Caravan as well, in purple.
Because we had it so long we've got lots of funny stories about the Aerostar. The middle side windows were sliders and the easiest thing in the world to break into with a coathanger. I don't think anyone ever did though, because who would want anything from an Aerostar, but we did it a lot when my brother would lock the keys in it as a kid.
We moved a pool table by taking the seats out. The suspension did not like that.
The front brake pads were held in by these weird lead filled pin things. I went to change them once when I was first getting into working on cars and I was all stoked to bust out my shiny new socket set. Only to take the wheel off and realize you change them with a hammer and pliers.
I used to always kind of jump in the sliding door. Except I grew and hadn't been in it for a while, so one day I just smoked my head on the top of the door jam and ended up on my ass in the parking lot. My mom was laughing too hard to be able to ask if I was okay
The one rear seat had stereo controls beside it, and a headphone jack but it was the jumbo size for some reason. I could never figure out what the point of that was.
