"The Windstar SEL, which is Ford's current top-of-the-line minivan model, has been extremely popular with customers since it was introduced this year," says Jim Townsend, Windstar brand manager. "With customers migrating to higher-end models throughout the minivan segment, we thought the time was right to offer a premium package to strengthen our competitive position in the marketplace."

In addition to the equipment common to the SEL series, the Windstar Limited includes the following unique features offered on no other Windstar models:

• 16- by x 7-inch 10-spoke aluminum wheels
• Six-disc, in-dash CD changer
• Unique exterior color of Light Parchment Gold or optional Black Clearcoat
• Unique fascia/cladding in Mineral Gray
• Chrome exterior and interior trim accents
• Color-keyed interior trim in Medium Parchment
• Leather grab handles on front-row seat backs
• Floor mats with the Limited nomenclature
• Woodgrain interior door trim panel
• TravelNote message recorder
• Tissue holder in overhead console

"The Windstar Limited creates a more upscale environment for customers looking to be pampered by their vehicle," says Townsend. "This is particularly important in the minivan segment, where customers are typically balancing the many responsibilities of work and family life. Driving their vehicle should be as relaxing an experience as possible."

The 2000 Windstar Limited will be built at the Oakville Assembly Plant in Ontario, Canada and will be available to customers beginning in February.
