The Plymouth Voyager 3 was a minivan concept car revealed by Plymouth in 1989. Part of the car’s aerodynamic design featured a glass roof. One thing that was unique about this car was that in a sense it was a miniature tractor-trailer; the cab separated from the back of the car and could be driven by itself.
