Things that never were nor ever should be: The Plymouth Voyager Shorty Van

What would happen if an old Plymouth Horizon mated with a Plymouth Voyager? See above. Despite the fact that Chrysler used to offer its minivans with two different wheelbases, this is a vehicle that was fortunately never released out of the factory doors. Our guess is that the owner, like us, never really cared for those old non-powered sliding doors anyway. Why not just get rid of 'em completely? Our favorite view of the bus shows that there's nearly as much front-overhang as there is metal between the axles. In all seriousness, the work that went into cutting this sucker in thirds, throwing out the middle-section and welding it back together seems to have been done pretty well. Because the Voyager is a front-wheel drive minivan, the powertrain probably didn't need any tweaking at all.

That's kind of wierdly cool...how about taking a typical 4dr SUV and doing the same shortening...make an Escalade Coupe de Ville for instance..

I can't believe they insisted on leaving the running boards on.

extra rollover, oh, who am i kidding. LOL

it's an oddity, it's cool for that. but i hope i'd never be seen in it, even dead. unless it was then going to blow up and erased form history.... maybe.

That is AWESOME! I'd totally rock that.

I'll bet it handles like a grocery cart. What's the wheelbase 12"?

I wonder how the dimensions compare to a Smart FourTwo..probably a foot longer or so.
