Pontiac Hood Ornaments

The Pontiac Division of General Motors was created specifically to compete in the price range with Model T Fords. The first Pontiac automobile debuted at the 1926 New York Auto Show. The new car was an immediate success - largely because it was a six cylinder vehicle competing in the price range of four cylinder Fords. Within a year GM drew up plans for a new $15 million assembly plant.
