1968 share certificate for 100 common stock shares in General Motors Corporation, featuring modernist transportation vignette and bold orange engraving.

This highly stylised certificate captures the peak of mid-century American industrial power, with a dramatic vignette showing streamlined locomotives, autos, and factory silhouettes crowned by a triple-profiled human head marked “GM” – a visual expression of speed, innovation, and corporate vision. Framed in orange guilloché with architectural flourishes, this document blends functional design with Cold War-era futurism, making it a compelling piece for collectors or display.

Issued on September 16, 1968 to nominee holder Agenco, the certificate represents 100 fully paid common stock shares in General Motors Corporation, then the world’s largest car manufacturer. Incorporated in Delaware, GM was a dominant force in global transportation, and this certificate, printed by the American Bank Note Company, was transferable across North America. It reflects GM’s transnational reach, with transferability noted in New York, Chicago, Detroit, San Francisco, Wilmington, Toronto, or Montreal.

Condition is solid for its age, with only light age toning and minor handling evidence. Measuring approximately 12 x 8 inches, the piece is printed on security-grade paper and cancelled via punch. It holds strong appeal for enthusiasts of automotive history, corporate design, and twentieth-century American industry.
