Lucy Panzer was a 1984 GMC Suburban Sierra Classic (K-2500) that set a world-record in 1984 when it drove from the bottom of Africa to the top of Europe (28 days, 13 hours, 10 minutes) in the Africa-Arctic Challenge with Garry Sowerby behind the wheel. Sowerby is credited for naming the historic Suburban Lucy Panzer after developing a bond with it during the off road event. Lucy in the Alcan 5000 Rally... ...also note the Volkswagen GTI (don't know the model year) and the other car, not sure what it is. -- Last edit: 2012-05-25 02:28:40
