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.
