Pontiac, founded in 198, is an American automobile brand, which mainly produces cars. Pontiac Automobile Division was originally Oakland Automobile, which was founded by a young Edward Murphy. In 198, it produced a 4-cylinder engine car, which was powerful and competitive, so it developed rapidly and attracted Durant's attention. Through talks, it joined General Motors in 199 and officially used the name and trademark of Pontiac Automobile Division in 1932.

The word Pontiac was taken from a place name in Michigan, USA. In 199, it joined the American General Motors Company, and in 1932, it officially used Pontiac's automobile trademark.
