"Using a Chevrolet sedan and a one-ton truck built at the new Port Elizabeth plant, this well-organised safari, which was even equipped with wireless transmitting and receiving equipment, struggled through to Cairo and on via the eastern Mediterranean coast to Stockholm in nine months." - R. H. Johnston: Early Motoring in South Africa, p. 147. "The Chevrolet Expedition organised by General Motors South African Limited, Port Elizabeth, left Capetown on March 7th, 1928, and arrived in Stockholm, Sweden, on December 7th, 1928. The Expedition consisted of a sedan car and a one-ton truck, the aim of the journey through three continents to Stockholm being to prove the endurance and reliability of these vehicles. The trip was one of the most gruelling feats of endurance performed in modern motor cars, for the journey through the African continent was begun at a time when Central and East Africa were in full flood, and when transport of all kinds in those areas was practically suspended. . It is my aim to tell you of some of the wonderful things we saw along that great road of romance and adventure, the Great North Road to Cairo and beyond, and I want you if you will to laugh with me along the way." - from the author's foreword.
