Pontiac Safari 287 1955
General description :
Cruisin' Classics is proud to present to you this 1955 Pontiac Safari Wagon. You'll notice that the roof line resembles a Nomad. That is because this was Pontiac's version of the Nomad. This 55' appears as if it was restored many years ago. It is showing age around the edges. Driver quality paint make this the perfect driver. The drivetrain appears to be original but there are no serial number stamps visible. The engine and transmission both function but you can tell that they have some age to them. This car has some very rare options, such as power windows, air conditioning (non-operable), power brakes and power steering. The interior is in driver shape. No rips or tears present. The carpet looks as if it has been replaced at one point in time as well. Let's dive a little further into this rare wagon.
