1926 Pontiac Series 6-27 Coach

Pontiac was introduced by General Motors in 1926 to fill the price gap between the Oakland and Chevrolet brands. Pontiac vehicles were first introduced as a companion to the Oakland in late December of 1925 as 1926 models. They were labeled the NEW-FINER Series 6-27 and were immediately popular.

This 1926 Coach was one of only two body styles, along with the coupe, initially available for the 1926 model year. The 927 Pontiac was an extension of the enlarged 1926 model lineup and also featured the first open Pontiac car, the 2-door Sport Roadster wearing a Stewart body and a 2-door Sport Cabriolet with rumble seat that replaced the 1926 Deluxe Coupe model.

Pontiac cars through the 1929 model year had '1/2 year' models and were sold as the next following year cars. That came to an end with the 1930 introductions. From December of 1925 through October of 1927, Pontiac sold 204,553 vehicles.
