The Pontiac Motor Division was an automobile brand of the American automobile manufacturer General Motors (GM). Originally founded as the Oakland Motor Car Company of Pontiac, Michigan, it an American automobile manufacturer established in 1907, it became a division of the General Motors Corporation in 1909. The Pontiac brand was introduced by General Motors in 1926 as the companion marque to the Oakland division, and shared the GM A platform. However, Pontiac overtook Oakland in popularity and supplanted its parent brand entirely by 1933.
