The Pontiac Safari is a series of station wagons introduced in 1955. The Safari name was often used by Pontiac to designate their station wagon variants of various models, but from 1955 to 1957 the Safari was its own independent model. The Safari was based on the Pontiac Chieftain yet shared certain Chevrolet Nomad components. While the Pontiac Safari ended production in 1957, the name was used until 1991 to designate station wagon variants.
