Pierce Quantum prototype - Juice - 04-24-2014
Someone on here, some time back, had a couple of pictures of the prototype Pierce Quantum, if I remember right it was dark Blue, and looked somewhat different than the final product. Does anyone still have those around, and would you mind sharing?
Thanks,
Trav!

They claim to have the first one ever produced. This is the only photo I could find. It does look a bit different. Hope it helps somewhat.

The original Quantum, as Dave said, had a different fiberglass nose piece than the production model. The biggest difference was that the grill was far more angled than the final version and had several horizontal bars in the grill. This is a different vehicle than the Belgium one, which was the first customer Quantum.
Give me a couple of days and I'll put my hands on the brochure that I have with the prototype in it.

Thanks guys, yes Taylor that is the one I'm referring to! It's been a long time since I've seen it. Seth, sadly, I forgot I had already asked.

No, I do it all the time. Sometimes with the jumbo threads it's very hard to go through and find what you're looking for. I apologize because I just did a search to see if I could find if the photos that you were looking for you were already posted and that is what I found. Shouldn't have posted it though and just minded my own business since I didn't know in the first place.

No worries man, I'll take any help I can get. Taylor does have the right one that I'm thinking of, but I can't remember where I ever saw it first posted.
Trav!
