In mid-year 1977, Pontiac introduced the Phoenix, an upscale version of the Ventura which replaced the Ventura entirely after the end of the 1977 model year. Pontiac also introduced its 151 cu in (2.5 L) "Iron Duke" 4-cylinder overhead valve engine. It was first used in the 1977 Astre, replacing Astre's aluminum-block 140 cu in (2.3 L) Vega engine.
Oakland's part in this plan was the 1926 Pontiac, a shorter-wheelbase "light six" priced to sell at a four-cylinder car's price point, but still above Chevrolet. Pontiac was the first of the companion marques introduced, and in its first year sold 49,875 units. [3] By 1929, GM sold 163,000 more Pontiacs than Oaklands.

A 1932 Pontiac. Established in 1926 as a companion of Oakland, it was the first marque released as part of the companion make program. Sloan, who had replaced du Pont as GM president in 1923, [18] decided to create various "companion makes" to fill the variety of gaps that had developed in the original pricing hierarchy. [19]
This is a chronological index for the start year for motor vehicle brands (up to 1969). For manufacturers that went on to produce many models, it represents the start date of the whole brand; for the others, it usually represents the date of appearance of the main (perhaps only) model that was produced.
