General Motors Corporation Stock Certificate

Certificate Highlights:

This Stock Certificate is from the General Motors Corporation. In 1908 the General Motors Company was organized by William Durant in Flint, Michigan. The company grew to become a leader in the automobile industry by acquiring Buick, Oldsmobile, Oakland (later named Pontiac), Cadillac and Chevrolet. United Motors Corp., a combination of parts and accessories makers, including Delco, New Departure and Hyatt Roller Bearing Co., became one of GM’s most important acquisitions. In addition to acquiring the products, Hyatt’s president, Alfred P. Sloan joined GM. Two years later, Sloan replaced the ousted president, Durant, and created a decentralized management plan that became the model for much of the rest of American industry.

In 1919, the company headquarters were designed in Detroit. The General Motors Building in Detroit was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1985. GM is one of the largest manufacturing companies in the world. It has been a global automotive sales leader since 1931.
