TEMPEST SAFARI STATION WAGON EXTERIOR STYLING

Notable Features at Front and Side:

Wide-horizon peripheral front bumper sounds the “big-car” keynote—Safari style.

The new bumper design integrates grille and headlamps for added protection.

The long-swept hood emphasizes Safari’s practical size—flows smoothly rearward to enhance the uncluttered appearance.

Longer 116″ wheelbase dimensions and 60 inches of Wide-Track at front and rear add to Safari’s all-new look—improve ride and handling.

Safari sides frame a luxurious dark walnut wood grain appearance panel with wide, light wood-toned, vinyl-coated moldings.

Long, bright rocker panel moldings add animated accent front to rear.

Wide-spaced parking lamps share a common lens with all-new side marker lights.

Attractive, practical decor group moldings are standard.

Notable Features at Rear:

Walnut wood grain appearance paneling underscores Safari’s rear-end styling.

Full-width wraparound rear bumper houses backup lamps.

Tail and stop lamp assemblies are mounted vertically above bumper on outer extremities of body.

“Pontiac” letters-on-a-bar highlight the tailgate signature.

“Safari” lettering appears on upper right molding of tailgate.

Bright metal tailgate window molding is standard.

Specific Exterior Appointments:

“Tempest” nameplate adorns the front of each front fender.

“OHC 6” emblem is mounted on rocker panel moldings at front.

Windshield wiper blades conceal themselves when not in use—articulated action provides a wider cleaning sweep at left.
