William C. Durant - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unsatisfied with this approach, however, he abandoned it and went into partnership with Louis Chevrolet in 1911, starting the Chevrolet company.

On November 3, 1911, race car driver and automotive engineer Louis Chevrolet co-founded the Chevrolet Motor Car Company in Detroit with William C. Durant (ousted founder of General Motors for 5 years) and investment partners William Little (maker of the Little automobile) and Dr. Edwin R. Campbell (son-in-law of Durant) and in 1912 R. S. McLaughlin GEO of General Motors in Canada.

Durant was ousted from the management of General Motors in 1910 for 5 years. He took over the Flint Wagon Works, incorporating the Mason and Little companies. As head of Buick Motor Company prior to founding GM, Durant had hired Louis Chevrolet to drive Buicks in promotional races.[2] Durant planned to use Chevrolet's reputation as a racer as the foundation for his new automobile company.

“On Nov. 28, 1911, not long after he formed Chevrolet, Durant was the guest of honor at a “Wizard’s Banquet” held at the then-new Masonic Temple in Flint, where he was lauded as “El Capitan de Industria.”
