FOUNDERS AND EARLY HISTORYEdward Murphy and Alanson Brush Murphy was the founder of Pontiac Buggy Company in

Pontiac, Michigan which produced horse-drawn carriages, and was looking to evolve into the

automotive age. Brush, who was responsible for the design of early Cadillacs, later became

an engineering consultant in Detroit. When the two met in 1906, Brush showed Murphy his

design for a small two-cylinder car that Cadillac had rejected. Murphy bought Brush’s automo-

tive idea, and decided it should carry the name “Oakland” as did his horse-drawn vehicles.

During the summer of 1907, Murphy organized the Oakland Motor Car Co. His lack of

sales with the Oakland, a two cylinder vertical engine that rotated counterclockwise,

convinced him that Cadillac might have been right in rejecting the Brush design. In 1909,

a line of 40-hp four-cylinder cars with sliding-gear transmissions was introduced, and more

successful. Unfortunately, Edward Murphy didn’t see the increased sales due to his sudden

death in 1908.

Shortly before his passing, Murphy had met with another former buggy man named

William C. Durant. Soon afterwards, Oakland became part of Durant’s General Motors Empire

and its design would evolve under his rule. Oaklands most recognized model was produced

in 1924, the “True Blue Oakland Six” which came with a new L-head engine, four-wheel

brakes, centralized controls and an automatic spark advance, and painted with a Blue Duco

nitro-cellulose lacquer. In 1926, Alfred R. Glancy, Oakland’s assistant general manager intro-

duced the Pontiac - a quality six cylinder engine car designed to sell for the price of four.

This new “companion car to the Oakland was an instant success and Pontiac had been born.

Pontiac moved up to producing the cheapest cars with straight eight-cylinder (inline eight) engines. This was done by using many components from the 6-cylinder Chevrolet, such as the body.

1948All Pontiac models were essentially 1942 models with minor changes. The Hydra-matic automatic trans-mission was introduced in 1948 and helped Pontiac sales grow even though their cars, Torpedoes and Streamliners, were quickly becom-ing out of date and out of step with the growing youth market.

1933 1955

1961The 1961 models were again drastically reworked. The split grille returned, as well as all new bodies and a new-design perimeter frame chassis for all full-size models. These new chassis allowed for reduced weight and smaller body sizes.

1975

Pontiac introduced the new sub-compact Astre, a version of the Chevrolet Vega. This was the brand's entry into the fuel economy segment of the market. 1975 would also see the end of Pontiac convertibles for the next decade.

1984

Next came the 1984 Fiero. This was a major departure from anything Pontiac had produced in the past. A two-seat, mid-engined coupe, the Fiero was targeted straight at the same market that Semon Knudsen had been aiming for in the late 1950s: the young, affluent buyer who wanted sporting performance at a reasonable price.

1990All new models were produced but at more lengthy intervals. The 1990 model year saw the launch of Pontiac's first minivan and light truck, the Trans Sport. The Sunbird was replaced with the (still J-body) Sunfire in 1995.

2003

In 2003, it was announced that the Grand Prix would be in its last year of its generation, with an improved 7th generation on the way for 2004.

Pontiac replaced the Ventura with the Phoenix, a version of Chevro-let's fourth generation. Pontiac also introduced its 151 cubic inch "Iron Duke" 4-cylinder overhead valve engine. This engine would later go into many GM and non-GM auto-mobiles into the early 1990s.

1977In 2006, the G6 introduced both a coupe and hardtop convertible variant to its lineup, mimicking a lineup similar to the BMW 3-Series. This also marked the year for the introduction of the Solstice roadster, which competes with the Mazda MX-5. The Torrent SUV was also introduced and saw reasonable sales, considering its lack of performance.

1990

The big news was the introduction of a new 173-horsepower (129 kW) over-head valve V-8 engine. Pontiac took a big leap ahead in the public's eye and sales jumped accordingly. With the introduction of this V-8, the six cylinder engines were discontinued; a six-cylinder engine would not return to the full-size Pontiac line until the GM corporate downsizing of 1977.

DOWN FALL2005, Down fall a new beginning 2005 was the swan song for the Pontiac Bonneville.

With the demise of the V8 Bonneville.

In 2006, the G6 introduced both a coupe and hardtop convertible variant to its lineup,

mimicking a lineup similar to the BMW 3-Series. This also marked the year for the intro-

duction of the Solstice roadster, which competes with the Mazda MX-5. The Torrent SUV

was also introduced and saw reasonable sales, considering its lack of performance.

2007 saw the introduction of the G5 coupe, which replaced the compact Sunfire. This

car wasn't planned for Pontiac, as it diluted its performance image, but the dealers had

no small car to compete with imports, and complained. However, the car is sold as a

sedan only in Canada and Mexico.

As part of GM not releasing the G8 ST, Pontiac has decided to make 2009 the final year

for its light trucks, with the Montana ending production in September 2008 as a 2009

model, followed by the slow-selling Torrent crossover SUV. The only Pontiac light truck

in the American lineup was the Pontiac Torrent crossover SUV from 2007–2009.

For the 2010 model year, Pontiac introduced the G3 hatchback, which is a rebadged

Chevrolet Aveo. This was Pontiac's first subcompact since the 1993 LeMans. The hatch-

back was first sold in Canada for the 2009 model year as G3 Wave. From 2005–2008,

Pontiac's rebadged Aveo in Canada was formerly known as the Wave. However, eliminat-

ing the Pontiac brand to appease Congress to pass the 25 billion dollar bailout.

On 2 December 2008, GM announced that Pontiac will be reduced to a "niche" brand

selling fewer models in the Buick Pontiac GMC dealers.

TYPOGRAPHY

Not to be mistake for Helvetica

23

FONT FAMILYAdrian Frutiger imposed strict discipline across all elements of the

series, from light to dark, extra condensed to extended, a concor-

dance of design that was possible in the foundry type and photo-

composition fonts. Any version may be mixed within a word with

any other. It may be argued that the design of the most popular

central series is limited by strict conformity to little used extremes.

If Helvetica gives us the strongest central designs at some sacrifice

in uniformity across the series, Univers gives us a uniform series by

disciplining the central designs.

PONTIAC TRADEMARKS AND LOGOAn American Indian Headdress was used as a logo until 1956. This

was updated to the currently used American Indian red arrowhead

design for 1957. The "arrow-head" logo is also known as the Dart.

Besides the 'Indian head' logo, another identifying feature of Ponti-

acs were their 'Silver Streaks one or more narrow strips of stainless

steel which extended from the grille down the center of the hood.

Eventually they extended from the rear window to the rear bumper

as well, and finally; along the tops of the fins. Although initially a

single band, this stylistic trademark doubled to two for 1955–1956.

The Silver Streaks were discontinued the same year the Indian

Head emblems were; 1957.

Other long-familiar styling elements were the split grille design

(from 1953 onward) and 'grilled-over (in the 1960s), or multiple-

striped taillights. This later feature originated with the 1963 Grand

Prix, and though the '62 GP also had rear grillework, the taillight

lenses were not behind it.

Founders and early

history: Murphy

was the founder

of Pontiac Buggy

Company in Pontiac,

Michigan which pro-

duced horse-drawn

carriages, and was

looking to evolve

into the automotive

age. Brush, who

was responsible

for the design of

early Cadillacs, later

became an engi-

neering consultant

in Detroit. When the

two met in 1906,

Brush showed Mur-

phy his design for a

small two-cylinder

car that Cadillac had

rejected. Murphy

bought Brush’s

automotive idea,

and decided it

should carry the

name “Oakland” as

did his horse-drawn

vehicles.

During the summer

of 1907, Murphy

organized the Oak-

land Motor Car Co. His lack of sales with the

Oakland, a two cylinder vertical engine that

rotated counterclockwise, convinced him

that Cadillac might have been right in reject-

ing the Brush design. In 1909, a line of 40-hp

four-cylinder cars with sliding-gear transmis-

sions was introduced, and more successful.

Unfortunately, Edward Murphy didn’t see

the increased sales due to his sudden death

in 1908. Shortly before his passing, Murphy

had met with another former buggy man

named William C. Durant. Soon afterwards,

Oakland became part of Durant’s General

Motors Empire and its design would evolve

under his rule. Oaklands most recognized

model was produced in 1924, the “True

Blue Oakland Six” which came with a new

L-head engine, four-wheel brakes, centralized

controls and an automatic spark advance,

and painted with a Blue Duco nitro-cellulose

lacquer. In 1926, Alfred R. Glancy, Oakland’s

assistant general manager introduced the

Pontiac - a quality six cylinder engine car

designed to sell for the price of four. This

new “companion car to the Oakland was an

instant success and Pontiac had been born.

Formation of the Car brand

The Pontiac brand was introduced by

General Motors in 1926 as the 'companion'

marque to GM's Oakland Motor Car line. The

Pontiac name was first used in 1906 by the

Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works and linked

to Chief Pontiac who led an unsuccessful

uprising against the British shortly after the French and Indian War.

The Oakland Motor Company and Pontiac Spring & Wagon Works

Company merged in November 1908 under the name of the Oakland

Motor Car Company. The operations of both companies were joined

together in Pontiac, Michigan (in Oakland County) to build the Cart-

ercar. Oakland was purchased by General Motors in 1909. The first

General Motors Pontiac was conceived as an affordable six cylinder

that was intended to compete with more inexpensive four cylinder

models. Within months of its introduction, Pontiac outsold Oakland.

As Pontiac's sales rose and Oakland's sales began to decline,

Pontiac became the only 'companion' marque to survive its 'parent',

when Oakland ceased production in 1932.

Pontiac began selling cars with straight 6-cylinder engines with the

40 hp (30 kW) 186 ci (3.1 liter) (3.25x3.75 in, 82.5x95mm) L-head

six in the Pontiac Chief of 1927; its stroke was the shortest in the

American car industry at the time. The Chief sold 39,000 units within

six months of its appearance at the 1926 New York Auto Salon,

hitting 76,742 within twelve months. The next year, it becoming the

top-selling six in the U.S., ranking seventh in overall sales. In 1933, it

moved up to producing the cheapest cars with straight eight-cylinder

(inline eight) engines. This was done by using many components

from the 6-cylinder Chevrolet, such as the body. In the late 1930s,

Pontiac used the so-called torpedo body of the Buick for one of its

models just prior to its being used by Chevrolet as well. This body

brought some attention to the marque.

For an extended period of time, prewar through the early 1950s, the

Pontiac was a quiet and solid car, but not especially powerful. With

a flathead (side-valve) straight eight. These combinations proved

attractive to the vehicle's target market - a reserved lower middle

class not especially interested in performance or handling but seek-

ing good value and a roomy vehicle in a step up from the entry-level

Chevrolet. This fit well within parent GM's strategy of passing an

We are very confident and proud of our signature mark. We know there is nothing like it out

there. The Pontiac mark should always be displayed in the middle in our products, our print,

our ad’s where it takes priority over every other mark. Please use only approved colors.

Some say its nuts, we say maybe, but the great marks are always misunderstood and we

want to make sure we are not one of them.[
