History of Pontiac
Pontiac is now known as the "driving
excitement" division of GM, but the marque originated as the
Oakland Car Company of Pontiac, Mich., in 1907. Acquired by General Motors in 1909, Oakland
introduced the first Pontiac vehicle in 1926; it was so successful
that the Oakland name was phased out in favor of Pontiac, the name
of an 18th century chief of the Ottawa Indians. Standouts for
Pontiac include the 1964 GTO and the Firebird Trans-Am of the
early and mid-1970s, a dark era for most "performance" cars. |
