INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
- ----------------------------

The General Motors Personal Savings Plan
for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for
benefits of The General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees
in the United States (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the
related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan at
December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the changes in net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental information by fund
is presented for purposes of additional analysis of the basic financial
statements rather than to present net assets available for benefits and
changes in net assets available for benefits of the individual funds.  The
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes and reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1993 are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but are supplementary information required by the
Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The supplemental
information by fund and the supplemental schedules are the responsibility of
the Plan's management.  Such information has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, is fairly stated when considered in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

                      THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN
                   FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES


                            NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
PLAN DESCRIPTION

General Motors Corporation (the "Corporation") and the International Union,
United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America,
UAW (the "Union"), on behalf of the employees covered by the Collective
Bargaining Agreement, established The General Motors Personal Savings Plan for
Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States (the "Plan") effective December 30,
1983.  The Finance Committee of the Corporation's Board of Directors acts as
the Plan fiduciary and, along with various officers, employees and committees,
with authority delegated by the Plan fiduciary, controls and manages the
operation and administration of the Plan subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA).  Assets
of the Plan are held by various investment managers under the direction of a
Trustee.  The Plan provides eligible hourly-rate employees with pre-tax
voluntary savings opportunities.  The following brief description of the Plan
is provided for general informational purposes only.  Refer to the "Complete
Text" of the Plan for a comprehensive description (as amended through January
1, 1991).

    Participation
    -------------

    Hourly-rate employees covered by the Collective Bargaining Agreement
    described above are eligible to participate in the Plan if they have
    attained 90 days of seniority.  Participation in the Plan is voluntary.

    Employee Contributions
    ---------------------

    Employees may elect to contribute 100% of their Profit Sharing
    distribution, provided such amount is in excess of the minimum payment,
    and up to 15% of eligible weekly earnings, up to a limit of $8,994 on a
    tax deferred basis.  In 1992, up to 15% of eligible weekly earnings or
    $8,728 could be contributed by an employee on a tax deferred basis.  These
    tax deferred contributions are excluded from the employee's taxable income
    until such amounts are distributed to the employee from the Plan.  Newly
    hired employees may elect to make a rollover contribution from a previous
    employer's qualified plan.

    Investment Options
    ------------------

    Employee contributions to the Plan may be invested, in 25% increments, in
    any of the options that follow.

         General Motors Common Stock, $1-2/3 par value
         ---------------------------------------------

         Under this Investment Option, an employee's savings are invested in
         General Motors common stock, $1-2/3 par value.

         Income Fund
         -----------

         Under this Investment Option, the investment manager has agreed to
         provide the return of an employee's savings and earnings at a
         specified annual interest rate.  The amounts in this fund are managed
         by several insurance companies.  The annual rates of return, contract
         periods, fund managers, and investment contracts are on the next
         page.

</TABLE>
         The 1992 and 1991 contracts under this option are with Metropolitan
         Life who served as the Recordkeeper for the Plan through June 30,
         1992.  Effective July 1, 1992, the recordkeeping function of the Plan
         was assumed by Bankers Trust Company.

         United States Government Savings Bonds
         --------------------------------------
         Under this Investment Option, an employee's savings will be invested
         in United States Government Series EE Savings Bonds.  Currently, the
         Federal government guaranteed the interest rate on the Bonds issued
         prior to March 1, 1993 at the greater of 6.0% or 85% of the aggregate
         average return on five-year United States Treasury securities,
         compounded semi-annually, provided the Bonds are held at least five
         years from the issue date.  Bonds purchased as of March 1, 1993 earn
         a minimum rate of 4%.

         Equity Index Fund
         -----------------
         Under this Investment Option, an employee's savings will be invested
         in a portfolio of common stocks of large companies which operate in a
         wide variety of industries and market sectors.  This portfolio is
         designed to match the performance of the "Standard and Poor's 500
         Index."

    Vesting
    -------
    Employee contributions and all earnings thereon vest immediately.

    Distributions
    -------------
    Employees may withdraw their tax-deferred savings after they reach age
    59-1/2.  Prior to age 59-1/2, only withdrawals due to termination of
    employment, death, Total and Permanent Disability, or Financial Hardship
    (as defined in the Plan's "Complete Text") are allowed.

    In the event a distribution to an employee or his beneficiary cannot be
    made because the identity or location cannot be determined after
    reasonable efforts, and the settlement remains undeliverable for a period
    of one year from the processing date, the assets will be liquidated and
    deposited into the trust fund.  All liability for payment thereof shall
    thereupon terminate.  Any assets liquidated will be (1) paid to the
    employee or beneficiary if the identity or location is subsequently
    determined, or (2) applied to reduce reasonable administrative expenses of
    the Plan.

    The amounts of distributions payable to Participants included in net
    assets available for benefits were $6,589,368 and $2,020,662 as of
    December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    Transfers
    ---------
    Participants may transfer assets to and from each investment option, other
    than the United States Government Savings Bonds Investment Option, once
    each month.

    Assets valued below $500 can be transferred between funds, provided all
    assets in the option are transferred.

                   FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES

    Loans
    -----
    Once each year, employees may borrow from their Plan accounts including
    current year contributions, except for assets in the United States
    Government Savings Bonds Investment Option.  The amount and term of the
    loans are limited under the Plan.  The loan interest rate will be
    established once each quarter at a rate equal to the prevailing prime
    lending rate on all new loans.  Interest paid on the loans is credited
    back to the borrowing employee's account in the Plan.

    The amount of authorized new but not disbursed loans included in net
    assets available for benefits were $2,140,233 and $2,019,757 as of
    December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

    Termination of The Plan
    -----------------------
    Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Corporation has the
    right to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  Such
    termination of the Plan, if any, would not affect an employee's interest
    in assets already in the Plan.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Significant accounting policies followed in the preparation of the
accompanying financial statements are as follows:

    o  Investments are stated as follows:

       - Corporation Common Stocks - at market value which has been determined
         at the mean of the high and low quoted market prices.

       - Guaranteed Investment Contracts - at cost plus accumulated interest
         as determined by the investment managers.

       - United States Government Savings Bonds - at scheduled redemption
         value.

       - Equity Index Fund - at the quoted market prices of the assets in the
         fund as determined by the investment manager.

    o  General Motors common stock, $1-2/3 par value, acquired by the Trustee
       for purposes of the Plan may be obtained by purchases on the open
       market or obtained from the Corporation by subscription or purchase.
       Such stock acquired by the Trustee on the open market is credited to
       the Participants' accounts at the average per share cost of such
       purchases (excluding brokerage commissions, transfer taxes, etc.) made
       for each month.  Stock obtained by the Trustee directly from the
       Corporation is credited to Participants' accounts either at the average
       per share cost to the Trustee of the open market purchases of the stock
       acquired for a particular month or, in those months in which the
       Trustee acquires no stock on the open market, at the average of the
       daily mean high and low market prices of the stock as reported on the
       Composite Tape of transactions for such month.

    o  The Plan has an established line of credit with NationsBank of N.C.,
       N.A. in the amount of $37,500,000.  This line of credit is held for the
       purpose of funding participant settlements.  All administrative costs
       and interest associated with the line of credit are paid by the
       Corporation.  As of 12/31/93, the Plan has an outstanding payable to

                      THE GENERAL MOTORS PERSONAL SAVINGS PLAN
                   FOR HOURLY-RATE EMPLOYEES IN THE UNITED STATES

STOCK DISTRIBUTIONS

Investments in General Motors Class E common stock and Class H common stock
resulted from amounts transferred to the Plan from the General Motors Employee
Stock Ownership Plan for Hourly-Rate Employees in the United States (the
"ESOP"), which terminated on March 31, 1989, and from certain stock
distributions declared by the Corporation's Board of Directors and
reinvestment of earnings thereon.

VOTING RIGHTS

Voting rights are extended to Participants in proportion to their ownership
interest in Corporation Common Stocks.

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

In March 1991, the Plan was determined by the Internal Revenue Service (the
"IRS") to be a tax-qualified employee benefit plan, meeting the requirements
of Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code"), and the Trust established thereunder was determined to be exempt
from United States Federal income taxes under Section 501(a) of the Code.  The
Plan has been amended since the effective date included in the determination
by the Internal Revenue Service.  However, the Plan's fiduciary and tax
counsel believe that the Plan is designed and currently being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code.  The United States
Federal income tax status of the employee with respect to the Plan is
described in the Complete Text of the Plan.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Several modifications have been made to the Personal Savings Plan.  The
principal modifications, all of which became effective January 1, 1994 unless
otherwise indicated, are:

   . Participants may save up to 18% of eligible earnings on a pre-tax basis;

   . The definition of "eligible earnings" is expanded to include almost all
     compensation received from the Corporation, including overtime, night
     shift, and seven-day premiums.

   . Participants may invest savings and deferred Profit Sharing distributions
     in 10% increments.

   . The $500 minimum amount on transfer of assets is eliminated.

   . U.S. Savings Bonds are eliminated as an investment option.

   . A blended rate was adopted for assets invested in the Income Fund in
     1994, and rather than being determined annually, the specified annual
     interest rate will be determined monthly and is expected to be within a
     range between 5.2% and 5.7%.

   . The suspension period is eliminated after two age 59-1/2 withdrawals.

   . Participants are permitted to transfer and withdraw Class E and Class H
     common stocks independent of GM common stock.

   . Effective April 1, 1994, a new option, the Balanced Fund, will be added
     to the existing investment options.

   . Another new option, "Mutual Funds," will be added to the existing
     investment options as soon as practicable.
