The Chief of the
Sixes
1926 Pontiac Coach
First Pontiac a Huge Success
In the mid-1920’s, Alfred P. Sloan, head of General Motors, was looking for
a model to both help the slumping Oakland marquee and also bridge the gap
between Chevrolet and Oldsmobile. Looking to dominate the low-priced
6-cylinder engine market, the 1926 Pontiac did just that. At $825, available
in only 2 styles-Coach and Coupe, 76,742 were produced, propelling Oakland
to 8th place in sales. By 1931 Oakland was gone and Pontiac became the only
car originated by G.M. to survive until the Saturn over 50 years later.
