Artifact Overview
The East African Safari Rally tested a car's and driver's endurance. During the 1960s, the rally's course covered thousands of miles passing through Kenya, Tanganyika (Tanzania) and Uganda. Drivers could expect punishing road conditions. Mud or dust was commonplace. And dodging wild animals could be expected. In 1964, the first American teams entered the grueling competition driving Mercury Comet Calientes.
