When the GM Heritage Center (GMHC) opened in June 2004, a century of GM vehicles, historical information and memorabilia was brought together for the first time. The facility helps GM employees, scholars, analysts and the media research the company's past and learn from its rich history as GM moves toward a second century of operation.

Located in Sterling Heights, Mich., just north of the GM Technical Center, the GMHC is not just a museum, but rather a cross between the ultimate automotive enthusiast's garage and a living repository of automotive history.

From the first car equipped with an electric self starter to styling concepts that created new industry trends in automotive design, displays at the GM Heritage Center are constantly changing.

On one visit you may see the world’s first hydrogen fuel-cell car created by GM engineers 40 years ago; on other visits the C5-R Corvette that won the 24 Hours of Le Mans sports car endurance race, or the 16-cylinder engine that helped make Cadillac "The Standard of the World."

These displays, along with archives containing hundreds of thousands of historic documents and artifacts, provide tangible proof of the remarkable ability of the people of General Motors to create, innovate and blaze new paths.

The real purpose of the Heritage Center is to provide constant reminders of the corporation’s core values of innovation and invention, providing the impetus and inspiration for future accomplishments.
