Trivia: What Michigan car company made the GTO and Tempest models?
Chrysler
Chevrolet
Pontiac
Mercury
Correct Answer: Pontiac
So why is this answer correct? : Edward Murphy was a carriage manufacturer when he launched the Oakland Motor Car Company in Pontiac, Michigan. In 1909, the company was acquired by General Motors; it eventually dropped the Oakland name and became its own division within GM. From the late ’50s through the ’60s and beyond, Pontiac’s powerful, sporty consumer cars became icons of the era’s “muscle car” culture.
