False advertising would still be criminally punishable at the federal level under 15 U.S. Code § 54 as a misdemeanor.

The aggrieved party would be Pontiac, and they've been out of business for a while.
Criminal prosecutions under § 54 are handled by federal attorneys acting on behalf of the government, regardless whether a potentially aggrieved company is still in business or not.
