The Ford Windstar is a minivan that was produced and sold by the Ford Motor Company from the 1995 to 2003 model years. This front-wheel drive minivan was the second minivan designed by the company, serving as a replacement for the rear-wheel drive Aerostar minivan. The two were sold concurrently for three model years until the Aerostar's 1997 discontinuation. For the 2004 model year, the third-generation Windstar was introduced as the renamed Freestar. All Windstars were assembled in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.
Although sold in the Ford car lineup, the Windstar followed a tradition set by its predecessor, the Aerostar, and did not have 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.
