2000 Chevrolet Express 4×4 Quigley Test Drive
Let’s say you’re Hugh Hefner. And you want to take all your girlfriends off-roading. At the same time. Plus the junior varsity. What will you do? You want to restock the bunny grotto, but snow is deeper than a dozen discarded bikinis. What will you do? You’ll take out your Quigley.
A Quigley is a four-wheel-drive conversion of a full-size GM or Ford van with multipassenger, go-anywhere ability unmatched by anything short of an army halftrack. GM’s new all-wheel-drive big vans don’t compare, outfitted with the viscous-coupled center differential from the Astro/Safari minivans instead of Quigley’s four-wheel-drive truck two-speed transfer case.
Quigley has been sliding four-wheel-drive components under big vans since 1975, building more than 10,000 for customers as diverse as Sears and the CIA—although we didn’t tell you about the latter—as well as “civilians.”
