The ’57 Pontiac Safari
The ‘50s initiated the revolution of vehicles. It’s a new dawn for the auto industry during this period and several representations had surfaced, and one of them is the 1957 Pontiac Safari.
According to Conzept Cars, the Pontiac Safari was first unveiled in 1955. It was introduced as a 2-door hardtop and showcased sport-coupe front doors with chrome beautifying the sliding rear-seat windows and tailgate and interior. In 1956, Pontiac restricted the Safari’s design with an exceptional body style that was only one year old. Powertrain components like fuel tanks and carburetors remained the same though.
Pontiac used the Safari tag to all of its station wagons in all of its product lineup that includes the Chieftain, Super Chief and Star Chief Custom in 1957.
