The Chevrolet Astro was a versatile minivan produced by General Motors under its Chevrolet division from 1985 to 2005. Alongside its counterpart, the GMC Safari, the Astro catered to a range of needs with its different configurations, including passenger and cargo vans. Initially featuring a rear-wheel-drive chassis, an all-wheel-drive option was introduced in 1990, enhancing the vehicle's traction and performance on various terrains.
Manufactured at the Baltimore Assembly plant in Maryland throughout its production run, the Astro and Safari minivans were the last model line to be produced at this facility, marking the end of an era. The plant turned out approximately 3.2 million units of the Astro and Safari combined from 1985 to
