You're both right. It was known as the Pontiac Star Chief Safari Wagon. You can see the "Star Chief" script on the front fender and the "Safari" script on the rear.

Well, you're almost right. It is a Safari, but it is also a Star Chief. Look closely at the lettering on the front fender. The "Safari" lettering was at the top of the rear fender. The "Star Chief" was Pontiac's prestige model.
From Wikipedia: For 1955, the new Star Chief Safari two door hardtop wagon, which was similar to Chevrolet's Bel Air Nomad, was introduced, shared with the Pontiac Chieftain. This variant lasted through 1957; after that the Safari name was used for all of the division's standard four door wagons.

I remember when these cars were on the road, I would see one approaching and very likely was able to identify it. Now I have to walk around it and read the name plate. Thank you for sharing these fine images.
