The minivan, which only a few years ago was mocked as an old-fashioned, frumpy family hauler, is now making a comeback. This type of vehicle has a very long history, going from the 1930s’ Stout Scarab (widely considered to be the first ever minivan), to a long hiatus in the post-war period, and finally to its heyday of the 80s and 90s. The minivan was a solution to major changes in American family life, which involved more commuting and transporting of children to and from school and extracurricular activities.
