In 1926, it introduced the first Pontiac to the public, which was a five passenger coach. By 1929, a half billion Pontiac cars had been produced. The famous

PONTIAC CARS
"For '92, Pontiac's full-size front-drive sedan gained a fresh skin and plastic front fenders. While the Buick LeSabre and Oldsmobile Eighty Eight rode on the same basic platform, the Bonneville featured its own distinctive Pontiac "look." Three trim levels were offered: SE, SSE, and SSEi. The base and midlevel models were provided with GM's basic 3.8-liter V6, while the SSEi received the hotter supercharged version."
