The 1959 Pontiac Catalina wagon was a significant model year due to major styling changes, including a new "B-body" platform with longer, lower bodies and distinctive twin tailfins. The "Catalina" name was adopted for the entire series of entry-level Pontiacs, while the wagon was officially known as the "Safari". For 1959, it was restyled with a split grille and increased glass area, and offered a powerful 389 cubic inch V8 engine. | Cars & Motorbikes Stars of the Golden era
