A Little GM History (Because It’s Too Cool Not To Share)
General Motors was founded by William Durant in 1908. From 1931 to 2007, it was the world’s largest automobile manufacturer. GM became commonly known as “GM” and sold vehicles under legendary names such as Chevrolet, Cadillac, Buick, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, and even brands like Hummer, Saab, Saturn, and Opel.
GM later filed for bankruptcy in 2009 and was bailed out by the U.S. Government. Shareholders of the original company lost essentially all their investment, but the business emerged as the reorganized GM in 2010.
