Why is it when the Archives in Pennsylvania contradict this history of McLaughlin’s selling as all he did was sell off his outstanding stocks held in Chevrolet to allow the US after he merged both his Companies in Canada the McLaughlin Car Company of Canada Limited and The Chevrolet Motor Company of Canada Limited, to become registered as General Motors of Canada Limited prior to his sale of Chevrolet Stock to allow W Durant to incorporate a company that was owned by Chevrolet from 1916 with 56.4% of the stock.
