1948 PONTIAC
A 1948 Pontiac sedan sitting idle in an apartment parking lot is waiting for a new owner according to a person in the lot that asked me if I wanted to talk to the owner about buying it, I declined. Pontiac was a car brand that was owned, made, and sold by General Motors. Introduced as a companion make for GM's more expensive line of Oakland automobiles, Pontiac overtook Oakland in popularity and supplanted its parent brand entirely by 1933. Amid the late 2000s financial problems and restructuring efforts, GM announced in 2008 it would follow the same path with Pontiac as it had with Oldsmobile in 2004 and discontinued manufacturing and marketing vehicles under that brand by the end of 2010. The last Pontiac badged cars were built in December 2009, with one final vehicle in January 2010. This photo was taken nine days after the previous snow photo.
