14. 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV
The 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV minivan looked like it had landed from another planet, boasting a plastic body and swooping, futuristic lines.
Its innovative design maximized interior space and efficiency, standing in stark contrast to the boxy minivans of the era.
While families wanted practicality, the Lumina APV’s radical appearance proved a bit too much for mainstream tastes.
As MotorWeek recalls, this minivan was a daring step into the future that most weren’t ready to follow.
