I gotta agree with ya on that one. Top 10? No, but like you said, more rare than the '57 Nomad, and IMHO a better looking car. JUST the safari. No offense RJ.

I saw a 57 Safari at a local car show and it was gorgeous. My fiance's best friend (the guy that worked on my Monte) owns a 57 Nomad restro mod. All stock interior, aftermarket wheels and modern engine & brakes.

No skin off my back.

They also weigh in more then their cousin the Nomad.

Much like the '58 Chevy, the '55/56/57 Pontiacs were not appreciated like the Tri-5 Chevies. So............ less survived.
