Pontiac

Ottawa war chief

Pontiac was an American automobile brand produced by General Motors from 1926 to 2010, known for performance-oriented vehicles like the GTO, Firebird, and Trans Am.

The brand was named after the 18th-century Ottawa chief who led a rebellion against British forces.

My uncle drove a Pontiac Bonneville.

The name also refers to several American cities, most notably Pontiac, Michigan, where the cars were manufactured.
