Product Description
Fondly remembered, but long extinct, the Oakland was a major U.S. automotive name in the 1920’s. Based in Pontiac, Michigan, The Oakland Motor Car Company was an independent manufacturer, but was eventually absorbed by General Motors and still later morphed into the Pontiac division. Pontiac, incidentally, takes its name from the 18th century Odawa Indian chief, who was a feared adversary of the British in colonial times. He was based in what is now Oakland County, Michigan, which is part of today’s metropolitan Detroit. Thus, both the Oakland and Pontiac automotive marques stem from references to the same geographical area, with the city of Pontiac being the seat of Oakland County today. The Oakland eventually became part of a GM hierarchy that included the equally extinct Pontiac, Marquette, LaSalle, Oldsmobile and Viking brands, in addition to the surviving Cadillac, Chevy and Buick marques.
