1959 Pontiac Catalina Safari Wagon

Vehicle Original VIN : 159C12969 The American station wagon is the unsung hero of automotive history. In the 50s, 60s, and 70s you were far more likely to find one in a driveway than any other type of vehicle, and the 1959 Pontiac Catalina Safari was one of the nicest. 1959 was also the year Pontiac's famous split grille came about by accident. Designers cut a conventional full width grille in half and swapped the two halves, and that mistake gave the Catalina its distinctive look.
