of its more than 80-year-old Pontiac brand. Pontiac’s origins
date back to the Oakland Motor Car, which was founded
in 1907 in Pontiac, Michigan, by Edward Murphy, a horse-
drawn carriage manufacturer.

country where anyone can have a problem in life and get
up, dust themselves off and start all over again.”
