My buddy went to 22nd annual California Hot Rod Reunion and emailed this to me. I like it a lot. Both of them are cool but that 2 door Pontiac is something.

Thats another thing that is so cool about them. They are using them as push cars at the race track.

The "2-door" is a Safari wagon, the cousin to the Nomad. It shares the Nomad roof, tailgate, and other parts.

Mike of Madmooks would prolly arm wrestle the guy for the Safari wagon. He wants one of those lil jewels. Any body got a clue on one for sale, shoot him a PM.

Great pictures. A friend of mine had a 58 wagon when I was in high school. I really like them, but they are hard to find. Most of them were junked out through the years. True of just about all models of 58's.
I've never seen a Pontiac 2 door wagon....
Thanks for posting

I know where there's a Safari wagon sitting in what looked like nearly complete condition. At least it was still there last time I looked. I don't remember what year it is, but it might be a 56. They aren't anywhere near as popular as their cousins, the Nomads, and the lower prices reflect that fact. I think they're pretty cool cars, but to me they aren't nearly as nice as Nomads.

No Sid those pics where taken by one of my closest friends. He is not a pro but man does he take beautiful pics. He is just a natural talent and has a great eye. The magazines have been hitting him up lately trying to buy his amazing pics. Here are some examples of his work. These were also taken at the Hot Rod Run.
