It isn’t just four-wheelers that get heavy use in Africa. And Johannes Dutch will tell us exactly what model Mercedes this is. I’m surprised this one didn’t tip over.Ī nice vintage Mercedes truck, leaning a bit to starboard. Of course, that doesn’t always sit well with the tires, especially since said tires are often ancient. It isn’t just cars that get overloaded the trucks in Africa are famous for their overflowing loads. That body looks in way too good of shape more likely to a garage to be fixed and put back on the street. The 403 is being hauled by a little donkey cart, but I hope not the scrap yard. Here’s one more Peugeot shot, but this one is a bit different. Check out the rear tire, which is feeling the load. It looks like there’s 10 passengers in the back, plus baggage on top. I’ve seen shots of 404 pickups with larger and taller loads, but weight-wise, this one is pretty impressive. Since we’re on the subject of Peugeots, here’s a 404 pickup shot in Mali. There’s another 504 wagon (red), and the white sedan appears to be a Volga a 504 sedan. It’s the world’s toughest wagon, or just “The World’s Greatest Wagons”, as I called them in my write-up of all the RWD Peugeot wagons. Peugeots are the favorite car of Africa, and the 504 wagon tops the list. Well, actually, we did, as the Geo Prizm. This one is a bit easier to identify: a Corolla, although not the body style we got her in the US. Wow! Is this the ultimate CC? The real question is, what is it? Ok I have my guess, but I’ll let you go at it. She forwards some of them to me, and this one needed to be shared here, as it’s all overloaded old cars and trucks in Africa.
