ACDelco
<p>ACDelco is an American automotive parts brand owned by General Motors, with a legacy that stretches back more than a century. Founded in 1916 by William C. "Billy" Durant as United Motors Corporation, the brand has evolved into one of the most trusted names in automotive replacement parts. In 1974, General Motors merged AC Spark Plug's aftersales operation with United Delco to create AC-Delco, and in 1995 the hyphen was dropped and ACDelco received a new logo and marketing initiative, establishing the modern brand identity recognized worldwide today.</p>
