The 1974 Pontiac Grand Safari. Pontiacs most luxurious full-size station wagon.

The '74 Grand Safari. Think of it as a Grand Ville with a huge trunk. It has all of Grand Ville's comfort and luxury. Plus all the practicality of a station wagon. There's Grand Ville's luxurious interior. A Custom Cushion steering wheel. Cut-pile carpeting. Simulated carved wood trim. And thick foam-cushion seats. Covered in handsome Morrokide. Or a new rich cloth. You'll find a standard 455-cu.-in. 4-bbl. V-8 under the hood. There's standard Turbo Hydra-matic. Variable-ratio power steering. And power front disc brakes.

As for practicality...what's more practical than over 106 cu. ft. of carpeted cargo space? Answer: Grand Safaris disappearing Glide-away tailgate. It tucks into the body and roof to let you load and unload in tight situations. There's even a hidden compartment for smaller valuables.

Now just to prove we have a way with luxurious station wagons, we make other gear available. Things like a wood-grain vinyl exterior. Cruise Control. And a new Radial Tuned Suspension.
