Sam, General Motors was incorporated in Sept. 1908. According to the book "Billy Durant, Creator of General Motors" (by Larry Gustin) by the end of 1908 General Motors included Buick, Oldsmobile and the Champion Ignition Company. According to "The Buick – A Complete History," (Gustin) Buick had produced 8,820 vehicles in '08. Oldsmobile, which was the second division added to GM in late 1908 had produced 1,055 vehicles that year (according to the book "Setting the Pace – Oldsmobile's first 100 years.) ^PT

+Sam Abuelsamid, Not sure if we have the specific production numbers after incorporation (Sept 16) for 1908 available. Technically you could count all of the Buick numbers because Buick was the original GM vehicle make, owned by Durant, which provided him the financing to create the GM holding company. Olds was the only other vehicle brand in the GM family that year. Chevrolet wasn't purchased by GM until 1911. Total 1908 production of Buick and Olds combined would be 9,875 vehicles.^PT
