East African Rally - Oldsmobile, SAAB, Volvo 

This is the 1967 15th East African Safari Rally and the winners were Bert Shankland and Chris Rothwell in a Peugeot 404. This is a reminder to users of RU-vid.

An awesome piece of truck history! Thank you for preserving this video! Would love to find the whereabouts of this old Diamond!

I'm here because of Brian Lohnes podcast

This is a significant and interesting chapter of the safari rally history which has never been captured in any publication in Kenya. Thanks for posting. What eventually happened to the Truck,I wonder.

Absolutely amazing. Trucks these days wouldn't make it 20 miles. Gotta love that 8v92 Detroit

My Dad owned a 66 Diamond T with a 67 Reo hood. 238 & a 10 speed. Put many a mile on that truck and it would make a 290 Cummins cry.

Waah this is some prime history. It's a shame that the Iconic East African Safari Rally is no more

Great video .. Just wish it had the audio too

Just one thing... Oldsmobile had nothing to do with this. Diamond Reo was a product of White Motor Company. In 1967 White merged Diamond T and Reo, both of which it owned, to create the Diamond Reo line. Entering this truck was their way of introducing that brand.

Awesome!

Wonder were this truck is today.

They were given a carved elephant tusk - ivory!!!! Wouldn’t be allowed now. Wonder where it is.

This was clearly a test drive, it has nothing to do with official competition called East African Safari. So the claim it won against all competitors is clearly FALSE. I have the list of all editions' competitors and NEVER any truck was listed as competitor or even allowed to enlist.

What happened to the audio? It use to work on this link.

looks real good, too bad I don't have the patience.

Bill furlong

Still doesn't work on my end.
