GM Canada's Historical Timeline
The World's largest automobile manufacturing company was founded on September 16, 1908. Its creator, William Durant, was a man who just five years before had known nothing about automobiles yet was convinced of their future importance. Once he became an automaker, Durant - energetic, ingenious, farsighted, a natural salesman - began to assemble a group of companies intended to build a range of cars in every style and price group. It was primarily because of his ability that General Motors grew to be the complex and highly successful organization it is today.
