Description
1959 Pontiac Bonneville Safari Station Wagon
WOW! is what everyone says when this one gets out.This is anextremely rare wagon.I only know of a few that are anywhere near thiscondition.It has never been restored
The car was purchased new in Brooklyn New York,where it rackedup about 72,000 miles in its first 3 years.Then, into a garage forclose to 50 years.It made a brief trip to Colorado and then I believeArizona, and then on to San Jose, California.Always sold tocollectors.And it only has 77,000 miles on it now.That's 5,000 milesin 50 years.The paint is nearly all original. Just the front fendersand hood have been painted.The interior is in nearly perfect conditionright down to the factory floor mats and silver speckled carpet.
I first saw the car years ago pictured in a magazine with astory about two wagons in one collection.Like most guy's, I rushedthrough the story, looked at the pictures and never made it to the lastpage of the story.I wanted this car from the first time I saw it.Last year, 2011, I ran across the same magazine and saw the same story.This time I read it all the way through.On that last page was themagic info. . . the current owners lived in San Jose, California, just20 miles from my house.I called information since their last name wasgiven in the story.Can you believe that in the 21st. century peoplestill have home numbers, not just cell phones?Ken answered the phoneand yes, they still had the car.Best of all, they were getting readyto sell their house and move away, so the car was about to go up forsale also.I drove over, gave it a test drive, thenwore out a newpair of knee pads begging my wife-----------"come on honey, it will bemy last one-----TRUST ME!"Well, she didn't fall for that line, butshe did say if I sold something, it could be mine.Away went the 55wagon and our 50 Bullet Nose Studebaker convertible.I only cried aboutthe loss until I realized the gain.Once again, enjoy.This one is akeeper.
The car was featured on the June 2012 cover of Hemmings, as wellas being pick of the day on the Hemmings website.The engine is the389 with an automatic transmission.It's blue with the Morrokide(Vinyl) interior, two tone blue and white.The carpet is the blue withthe chrome threads running through it.
My number is 408 - 221 - 9256.The car is located in Santa Cruz, CA.
