Ford's "Econoline" van came out in the early 1960's and was about the same size as a VW Microbus. It grew larger over the years and became a "full sized" work and utility van. The first vehicle that Ford advertised and sold as a "Mini-Van" was the Aerostar, which was introduced in 1985.

Ford's first minivan was the Aerostar. It came out in mid 1985 as a 1986 model and went out of production after the 1997 model year. Per Wikipeida 2,029,577 of them were made, but I have no idea if that's an accurate number or not, though it does sound plausible given the 12 year production run.

In the early sixties Ford had on the market a van based on the "falcon chassis" (Ford Econline van). The Falcon was a "compact car'.
GM also developed a "van" built on the Corvair line (Corvair Greenbrier).
While not a "mini-van" because the term it's self did not come into being until Lee Iacocca used it in marketing a product pioneered earlier by VW (the bus)(note VW was not the first, but is the most well known) and employed at Chrysler. (Chrysler products 1983). Good old Lee was a flimflam artist and was great at making something sound new that was actually very old.
