Safari Star Chief Was $59,995.00 Now $52,500.00The 1955 Safari was
built using shared body components with the Chevrolet Nomad station
wagon, which would also allow both divisions to share in the
tooling costs for the special bodied wagons. The Safari was fitted
with Pontiac's unique front-end bumper/grille assembly and sheet
metal and rear tail light design, both created by Pontiac stylist
Paul Gillan. Gillan received a United States patent for the
bumper/grille design.The Safari featured sport-coupe front doors,
extra chrome adorning the tailgate and interior, and sliding
rear-seat windows. Like the Nomad, the "B" pillar of the station
wagon was raked forward, a flourish not shared with other GM
two-door station wagons from that era.Interior trim, upholstery and
bright work were equal to Pontiac's top line Star Chief range of
models, however the Safari was actually the only model in the Star
Chief Custom.This Safari has been restored to it's original
condition with attention paid to detail throughout. It is equipped
with the 287 cu in V-8, Hydramatic transmission and power steering
and brakes.
