I am happy to hear that General Motors had purchased the building that is the cornerstone of their founding of their company in 1908, the building of their predecessor company-the Durant-Dort carriage company and is now operating it as a museum.

If it weren’t for the Durant-Dort carriage company, there would have never been a General Motors.

General Motors opens the restored Durant-Dort Factory One, considered to be the company’s birthplace and epicenter of the global auto industry, Monday, May 1, 2017 in Flint, Michigan. Once home to the Flint Road Cart Co., the restoration preserves a significant aspect of the shared heritage of GM and Flint, and creates a community space to help spur economic development in the city.
