The Ford Windstar is a minivan that was produced and sold by the Ford Motor Company from the 1995 to 2003 model years. The second minivan designed by the company, it marked the transition from rear-wheel drive to front-wheel drive layouts popularized by the Chrysler minivans. Serving as a replacement for the Ford Aerostar, the two minivans were sold concurrently for three model years until the 1997 discontinuation of the Aerostar. For the 2004 model year, the Windstar was renamed the Ford Freestar.

Although sold as part of the Ford car lineup, the Windstar followed a tradition set by the Aerostar by not having a Lincoln-Mercury counterpart, being completely unrelated to the Mercury Villager. The success of the Windstar led to the first Ford-developed Mercury minivan, the Mercury Monterey.

All Windstars, Freestars, and Monterey minivans were assembled in Oakville, Ontario, Canada at the Oakville Assembly Plant.

The 2002 Windstar was the most dependable minivan on the market in the JD Powers dependability survey at three years in service in the 2005 survey. The Windstar beat out the Toyota Sienna and the Honda Odyssey for these honors.

(In) 2002, (d)ual sliding doors became standard on all models.

I don't find Realtoy models very often, and most I do find seem to be from the Airport playsets. Still, this makes an interesting departure from the usual routine, and is most welcome around here in my collection.

Very nice representation of a Windstar. A least there is really no question about what kind of van it is suppose to be unlike some diecast companies that often miss the mark on mini van castings.

I need this one, too. I have numerous variations, both window versions and panel versions, but the Qantas version is a new one for me.
