Pushbutton: During the early years of GM from the time it was founded till the mid 20's, things weren't cream and honey.
The only reason GM survived past 1920 was because of the money the DuPonts had invested in GM.

There were a couple of big car combines tried that failed. One of the first was tried by the Briscoe brothers and failed. Bill Durant tried another one during the 20's and failed.
