  1. 59 Safari wagon , I wonder if it has 3-2's . My dad had a 58 Safari wagon with 3-2's and air ride. He also had a 60 Pontiac wagon with a 1965 motor out of a 65 GTO with a 4 speed Muncie.

  3. I question this is an actual photo. Vanity plates were not introduced until after 1972 in Kali.

    1. It is not an Oldsmobile. It is a 1959 Pontiac Bonneville Safari station wagon.

  7. cul de sac, try the french slang.

    the safari paralleled the nomad earlier as a stylish two door wagon.

    1. Absolutely, the 59 Pontiac wagon is the best.

  10. I'd take the Electra to the other two. It's a 1963; my Dad had one just like it. Wonderful car.
