DETROIT – Outside General Motors

’ new world headquarters, between the 12-story building and the city’s first new skyscraper in more than 30 years, sit two red Chevrolet pickup trucks.

One is a 1963 Chevrolet K20. The other is a new Silverado EV. The trucks, while part of a temporary holiday display, are symbolic of what’s inside the new global offices for the Detroit automaker: its past and present, woven together.

GM is occupying four of six office floors of the building and has filled them with artifacts, design nods and “Easter eggs” tied to the Detroit automaker’s history.
