1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari Station Wagon — Concours-Quality Nut-and-Bolt Restoration
For sale is one of the most desirable and historically significant wagons of the 1950s — the 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari, in its third and final model year of production. From the day it was introduced, the Star Chief Safari was conceived as the more refined, more elegant alternative to the Chevrolet Nomad, and this example lives up to that legacy in every way.
Approximately eight years ago, this Safari was treated to a no-expense-spared, fully documented, body-off, nut-and-bolt restoration with an unwavering commitment to originality. The result is a car restored to a very high standard — the kind of meticulous, top-to-bottom work that is becoming increasingly rare in the classic car world. Full documentation accompanies the car, giving the next owner a complete and verifiable record of everything that was done.
Third-year Star Chief Safaris are scarce by any measure, and finding one restored to this level of quality and authenticity is rarer still. This is a car for the serious collector — someone who understands and appreciates what it means to own a properly restored, historically significant piece of American automotive history.
Whether destined for a world-class collection, the show circuit, or simply to be enjoyed as the finest example of late-1950s American style and craftsmanship, this Safari is ready to impress at the very highest level.
