MURPHY'S LAW

摘要

Long before the first Pontiac automobile rolled off the assembly line in late 1926, the Pontiac Buggy Company, formed by Edward M. Murphy was selling horse-drawn buggies to giddy customers looking for that feeling of, well, 1 hp. As he looked toward the future, Murphy saw the horse-drawn buggy going the proverbial way of the buggy whip and created the Oakland Motor Car Company in 1907. A couple years later when GM acquired Oakland, they went through some serious growing pains, but emerged as a customer-sawy competitor for the popular Fords under the Pontiac banner.
