United Motors was created by GM founder Billy Durant in 1916, bringing together 5 separate component manufacturers whose principle customer was GM. It became part of General Motors in 1918. Its various component operations eventually were re-named and became part of other divisions, culminating with all component operations being put under Delphi, which was spun off in 1999.
