William C Durant, the founder of general motors, started a variety of entrepreneurial ventures, primarily in the fields of insurance, real estate and construction. None of them really took off. Once he hitched a ride to work with a friend, nothing that his friend's new 'buggy' rode smoother than any he had been in. New design in the buggy's springs was the reason for this. Durant, on learning that the Coldwater Road Cart Company made the buggies with the improved springs, immediately offered to buy the company for $ 1500. For this, he had to borrow $ 2000 from Citizen National Bank of Flint and made two sample buggy carts. Within a week, the buggy was sold, leaving orders for 600 buggy carts and there was no turning back and the turning point came in 1904, when Buick Manufacturing Company offered Durant partnership, as they were both in need of fresh source of capital and the famed selling abilities of Durant. But, Durant agreed to come in only if he could have absolute managerial control and finally took over the Buick Company.
