Chevrolet Lumina APV: So Futuristic, Yet So Forgettable [VIDEO]
Do you ever pick up an old yearbook or leaf through a dusty stack of dated photos and cringe over the fashion choices you made? Fads are a bitch, aren’t they? Unfortunately, no one is immune to the poor choices encouraged by passing trends, including the automotive industry. Enter: the 1990 Chevrolet Lumina APV. At the time it may have been the Honda Odyssey of the soccer mom circuit, but today a “full gauge instrument cluster” and “horizontal rear wheel housings” do not a solid seller make – but it does provide an immensely entertaining way to kill about 10 minutes.
If you want to take a troll down memory lane and relive the futuristic, segment-changing glory that was the Lumina APV, hit the jump for the official vid.

haha blast from the past! i have mixed feelings for this car. i remember back in the ’90s loathing its odd appearance, but now whenever i rarely see one on the road, perhaps nostalgia and the current wave of cookie-cutter blob cars has inspired an appreciation for its over-the-top rocketship angles.

We definitely still have one of these, a 1988 model, in the family. It’s been with us for about 10 years and made it clear across Canada and back one summer with its weedy little four-pot sucking back fuel like the state patrolmen pounded maple syrup in Super Troopers. It left us on the side of the road twice that trip, but due to a sneak-attack low fuel light.
