Chassis No. C758H12495

Long before minivans and SUVs hit critical mass, station wagons were hauling suburban families and their gear. Some were basic people-movers, others, like this 1958 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari Station Wagon, carried families in stylish comfort. "Something really special" is what Pontiac called their 1958 Star Chief lineup. Pontiac was trying to weather an economic recession in 1958, while continuing to shed their former reputation of building lackluster cars. They were beginning to dominate NASCAR competition, and the division was now producing attractive automobiles like the performance Bonneville and well-appointed Star Chief. Dressed in Tropicana Turquoise paint with Patina Ivory trim, accented with chrome highlights exclusive to the Star Chief model, this wagon certainly lacks no luster. The Code 264 Two-Tone Turquoise leather interior is complete with factory air conditioning, power windows, Wonder Bar AM radio, even the exceptionally rare bucket seats rarely seen in a wagon. Power steering and brakes complement the 285 hp 370 cu-in V8 and automatic transmission. This Custom Safari received a ground-up restoration approximately 15 years ago and only shows 7,974 restoration miles at cataloging. Completely restored station wagons from this era are unusual today – and this Star Chief Custom Safari is "something really special."
