The Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon was introduced in 1955. The cousin of Chevrolet’s Nomad, both cars shared similar bodies with differentiated styling. The Pontiac Star Chief Wagon was the rarest Pontiac produced in 1955, with production totaling only 3,760 cars. The first generation Star Chief Safari Wagon was offered through the 1957 model year.
This 1955 Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon is presented in black with accenting chrome trim. The car rides on blackwall tires updated with factory-style 8-lug wheels. The Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon is powered by a 287-cid V-8 engine which is paired to an automatic transmission. Aiding the driver’s stopping ability are power brakes. The interior is completed in a two-tone maroon and white which complements the exterior nicely. The rear bench seat folds flat allowing the transportation of larger items. The Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon also features a two-piece rear tailgate, a true staple of wagons of the time period. Wagons like this are the perfect classic car for the whole family to enjoy.
