Best Answer

Just prior to the incorporation of General Motors in the USA as The Chevrolet Motor Company of Canada Limited and The McLaughlin Car Company of Canada Limited needed to merge in 1918 making General Motors of Canada Limited to allow the sale of Chevrolet Stocks that owned General Motors Holding Company from 1916 and Durant had been banned from GM Holding for 5 years from 1910 to 1915. McLaughlin was Director in 1908 as he and Durant started General Motors Holding Company because of the exchange of 500,000 shares of Buick stock for 500,000 of McLaughlin stock in 1907 as the McLaughlin Carriage company was making $1,000,000 a year at that time. The sale of the Chevrolet stock in 1918 allowed McLaughlin the Director and Vice President's Job in the New Corporation . The General Motors of Canada Limited was never sold and today the Superior Court of Ontario Documents state General Motors of Canada as a privately owned Canadian Company. This is why it was never in the Chapter 11 in the U S A

No Buick and Durant built Cars with the McLaughlin Family in Canada and then started a Holding Company called General Motors in 1908 General Motors up until 1915 was run by Bankers and Durant , McLaughlin and Dr. E Campbell built Chevrolet's in Canada purchasing GM Holding Company Shares and in 1916 owned GM with 54.5% of all the stock. The Corporation of General Motors was only started in 1918 after McLaughlin in Canada merged both his Companies and made it General Motors of Canada Limited and sold off the Chevrolet stock to allow General Motors to incorporate after in 1918.
