1956 Pontiac Safari Wagon
Here’s an interesting build that we don’t come across or see very much, ever! It’s Pontiac’s answer to the Chevy Nomad. Trimmed out nicely in silver and gray this Pontiac Safari came to us as a painted shell with some parts. We’ll start fabrication with the underpinnings, that of course will be a Schwartz G-Machine chassis.
