Nissan Quest Helps Local Quintuplets Enjoy the Ride Home New Quest Minivan Ready for Delivery at O'Hare Airport CHICAGO, Oct. 4 -- What's red, drives like a car, performs like a van and goes "Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah! Wah!" all the way home? A Nissan Quest XE minivan presented Saturday, Oct. 5 to Bridget and Bill Collins and their quintuplets by Nissan Motor Corp. U.S.A. and its 26 Chicagoland Nissan dealers. The red Quest will await them at O'Hare International Airport where they are scheduled to arrive approximately at 10:30 p.m. The Quest will be parked curbside at the America West Airlines upper level departure drop-off area, Terminal 2. Joe Fenton, a dealer operations manager for Nissan Motor Corp. U.S.A.'s North Central Region, will be there to welcome the family home and present the vehicle. "We wanted to help the Collinses adjust to their new life, and we think the Quest will be the perfect vehicle for their expanded family," said Patrick W. Doody, Nissan's North Central Regional Vice President. The Quest's signature QUEST TRAC(R) seating system, with its movable third seat, provides maximum cargo and passenger flexibility. The award-winning Quest, which is built in Avon Lake, Ohio, also offers advanced safety features and car-like handling and comfort. "Bridget and I are delighted to have the Quest," said Bill Collins. "We can only say thank you." After returning to the Chicago area, the Collins family will live temporarily with Bridget's parents in suburban Bedford Park until their new home, also in Bedford Park, can be remodeled specifically for taking care of five infants.
