This Chief Pontiac statue was restored by the Diaz Sign Art Company and installed inside the Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum in 2011. These statues was based on an oil painting by Jerry Farnsworth in 1935 for General Motors' Pontiac division. Copies, prints, and statues duplicating this image were widely distributed. I believe General Motors distributed these to dealerships, city offices, and schools. For more, see this website.
