Oakland Motor Company

[Xraywolf]

Found this vehicle badge at a nondescript lot. Not in bad shape all things considered, some of the enamel colors still intact.
Learned some automotive history researching it - Oakland was a GM brand until 1931, then was renamed Pontiac.


The Oakland Motor Car Company of Pontiac, Michigan, was an American automobile manufacturer and division of the General Motors Corporation. Purchased by General Motors in 1909, the company continued to produce modestly priced automobiles until 1931 when it was renamed Pontiac.
