Oakland was actually the parent make for Pontiac. In the mid twenties GM divisions brought out companion makes for all their passenger car divisions, trying for an even biger market share. Oakland brought out the Pontiac, Buick the Marquette, Olds-Viking, Cadillac-LaSalle. Pontiac came out in 27 I believe, and by about 1930 outsold and replaced Oakland. Out of the rest, La Salle lasted the longest, actually saving Cadillac through the Depression
