1926 Pontiac 6.
The first Pontiac car was introduced in 1926 after GM acquired the Oakland Motor Car Co. of Pontiac, Mich., in 1909.
Pontiac was meant to be a low-priced companion to GM’s “Oakland” line, but Pontiacs proved more popular. By 1929, half a million Pontiacs were sold.
Sold for $2.8-million (U.S.) in 2006 at the Barrett-Jackson auction.
