Cruisin Classics is pleased to present this 1957 Pontiac Chieftain Safari 2-Door Station Wagon. This is one of those cars you simply don't see every day. Pontiac produced only 2,934 of these unique two-door wagons for the 1957 model year, and according to the cowl tag, this particular car is number 2,910, making it one of the last 25 to roll off the assembly line! The wagon has developed plenty of age and patina over the years, and rather than trying to hide it, the front hood and fenders have been finished to match the rest of the body, creating one seriously cool rat rod with tons of character. The red exterior stripe running along the body adds even more personality. It rides on red-painted steel wheels with chrome Pontiac hubcaps, wrapped in newer BFGoodrich Radial T/A tires. The original-style chrome still shines, although much of it has a naturally aged and hazy appearance. Side-exit exhaust in front of the rear tires completes the look.
Under the hood is a 1970 Pontiac 400ci V8 backed by a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, giving this lightweight two-door wagon plenty of Pontiac power. The car is equipped with power steering and has received a number of recent mechanical upgrades, including newer shocks, a front sway bar and end links, a newer exhaust system, new brakes and wheel cylinders, and a new gas tank. The wagon retains its original-style simplicity with no A/C, and the heater blower is currently inoperative. The rear hatch operates as it should, while the window glass is all present but shows its age.
Inside, some money has been spent bringing the cabin back to life while still keeping the car's old-school personality. It features new door panels, freshly upholstered seats, and a completely redone headliner that looks great. The dash presents well overall, and the car has a nice vinyl floor. There is no radio, keeping things simple and fitting with the car's custom rat-rod character. This is a seriously unique piece of 1950s Pontiac history - a rare two-door Safari wagon with an especially interesting production number, big-block Pontiac power, plenty of patina, and the kind of attitude that makes it stand out anywhere it goes.

Here at Cruisin Classics, we understand that you have many options when choosing where you purchase your classic, muscle or collector car and we would like to thank you for considering us.
Cruisin Classics has been buying and selling cars for many years.. The majority were your average daily drivers but our passion has always been in muscle cars and hot rods so in 1996, Cruisin Classics built a 56,000 sq.ft. showroom located in Columbus, OH that they still operate out of today. All of our vehicles are hand-picked and selected to ensure they fit our inventory. This facility is now arguably one of the best-stocked collections for sale in the US housing hundreds of unique automobiles all under one roof. We invite you to our facility! There is something for everybody when you come to visit.
After years of serving as central Ohio's premiere classic car dealer at Cruisin Classics Auto Sales, we saw an unfulfilled need that was not being met for our clients. We loved helping match our clients with the classic and American muscle cars of their dreams. But what about after the purchase? We recognized that our clients needed a trusted resource to continue to care for their classic vehicles. It did not sit well with us that our valued clients and their incredible vehicles were being outsourced to, sometimes several, third-party resources for maintenance and performance needs. We also wanted to help the many people that we had met over the years who already owned classic vehicles which were in need of restoration, upgrades, and maintenance. Too often, we were seeing vehicles with so much potential left sitting in garages under covers because their owners did not know who to turn to for such specialized work. It is our goal to offer our clients a truly comprehensive, seamless, and enjoyable classic car ownership experience, from purchase to maintenance to storage. Thus, Cruisin Classics Performance Center was born. We have cherry-picked the most talented, experienced, and passionate team of technicians to offer our clients a true one-stop-shop solution for any and all of their classic car needs. Our honest business model has lasted almost 25 years to date and Cruisin Classics has a worldwide reputation as one of the best in the business.
Outside of the shop, this business has afforded us the opportunity to be actively involved in our community and fulfill our goal of supporting several local and national organizations that hold a special place in our hearts. We are proud sponsors of the Kiwanis Club of Columbus, the Columbus USO, Honor Flight, Special Olympics, multiple car clubs, and much more.
In conclusion, 100% customer satisfaction is our main goal. Always has been.. always will be. We would like to invite anyone considering one of our vehicles to come to our beautiful facility to inspect the car in person or send somebody on your behalf.
