Overview of 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari For Sale by Owner

With a name like Star Chief, this Pontiac immediately exudes a very native vibe. Initially used to represent the top tier trim of the equally interesting Chieftain line-up, the Star Chief was spun off into a separate model very soon. Today, we have a 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari 2-Door Wagon which is a two-door wagon body style that was introduced to the line-up in 1955. This particular example hails from Madera, California, and has done 57,000 miles so far. Plus, it’s got a host of upgrades and enhancements for you to enjoy.

Exterior and Interior

Wearing a two-tone color scheme, this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari 2-Door Wagon is very Fifties in its overall aura. The Shadow Gray and Cream White shades perfectly complement each other, especially when paired with the interesting two-door configuration of this vehicle. A set of 17-inch chromed Ridler alloy wheels are wrapped in Toyo Extensa A/S radial tires to carry this beauty along, while the car’s ample chrome details remain proud and shiny. These include its bumpers, hood stripes, door handles, exterior mirrors and even hood ornament! The gray interior of this 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari 2-Door Wagon features custom leather upholstery for the seats. The front seats are bucket-style units with power adjustment and lumbar support as well. The second-row comes with bench seating that can be folded for even more cargo space when needed. There’s a custom center console, blue LED floor lighting, custom electrical wiring updates to power it all, and even an ice chest neatly integrated into the rear spare tire well. Meanwhile, the original push-button radio remains in its spot within the dashboard.

Engine

This 1956 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safari 2-Door Wagon has got a 350ci V8 paired with a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. The vehicle is rear-wheel drive as you’d expect. It’s also got an upgraded aluminum radiator to keep the engine at optimal temperature during long highway runs, which are likely given that this is a perfect trip machine. Power front disc brakes are also present, for upgraded stopping power and hence, better safety.

1957 Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon Restomod

Current Ask
SOLD

Pontiac’s Star Chief was a full-size offering available between 1947 and 1966, across six generations. It represented the top trim level for the Chieftain model, and as such, sat at the upper echelons of Pontiac’s hierarchy. Today’s 1957 Pontiac Star Chief Custom Safary 2-Door Wagon Restomod is a bit different, though. It’s a restomod with some neat upgrades and makes for a fine classic daily driver. With over 120,000 miles on the clock, this car has been around quite a bit, but it’s not tired at all. Rather, this Riverside-based Pontiac is ready for even more action if you please. It’s got a 347ci V8 with FiTech Go Tri-Power electronic fuel injection, an aftermarket audio system and even air conditioning!

Pontiac, one of those great American brands that is no more, is something of a legend. Between 1926 and 2010, they’ve given us plenty of great nameplates, some truly awesome muscle cars, potent pony cars and flamboyant full-size sedans. One of their key offerings in that last segment between 1954 and 1966 was the Star Chief. This was initially a top trim package for the Chieftain model before becoming a separate model. Finding a Star Chief isn’t easy because these vehicles were never intended to be collectibles. That’s despite over 203,000 being made in 1955, the year from which this 1955 Pontiac Star Chief hails. So if you wish to own this vehicle, you’d better act fast as it’s in great condition. It’s currently domiciled in Lake Elsinore, California, if you’re interested to go check it out.
