Pontiac was an automobile brand owned by General Motors. Its antecedent was the Oakland Motor Car Company founded in 1907 in Pontiac, Michigan. After two years, Oakland became a division of GM. In 1926, Pontiac was introduced as a more expensive lineup. In 1931, its senior brand was canceled because Pontiac was more popular. In 1932, it successfully turned the Oakland brand into a division. Soon after, a new factory called "Sunshine City" was completed, which also marked the official start of Pontiac's glory. In the beginning, it just aimed to make some auto parts. However, it has become a famous make with outstanding vehicles and OEM parts nowadays.

The 6-27 was the brand's first vehicle. It offered six-cylinder engines and the shortest stroke at that time. The production sold well. Within months of its debut, the total sales arrived at 39,000. It continued to be one of the top-selling motors until 1929. When the Wall Street Crash occurred in September, sales dropped quickly. By 1933, the economy began to recover. Pontiac started to provide more affordable vehicles. They were with straight-8 engines and parts from other GM divisions. During wartime in the 1940s, all the automobile plants changed to military production. Consequently, shortly after the war, the Pontiac models were still the same as the 1942 ones.

The brand-new model was introduced in 1949. Along with the new design, the Chieftain line was unveiled. The car later became the most vital lineup in its history. The Star Chief was added in 1954. And the Bonneville was a limited version of the sedan. It stood out for its style, power, and high-quality Pontiac parts. 1967 ushered in the Firebird. It was produced from 1967 to 2002. In the following years, the division created some other cars that continued to the 21st century. For example, the Grand Prix was from 1962 to 2008. The Trans Am was from 1969 to 2002. The Firefly was from 1985 to 2001. Pontiac Sunfire was from 1995 to 2005.

Although the automaker had a flourishing era in the 20th century, it came to an end in the first decade of the new millennium. On April 27, 2009, GM announced that it would scrap Pontiac and phase out all remaining models by the end of 2010. But its drivers can still enjoy its good performance, identifying features, and durable genuine parts.
