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, 1994 and 1993, 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, such financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of December 31,
1994 and 1993, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental schedules of (1)
assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1994 and (2) reportable
transactions for the year ended December 31, 1994, 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 in the statements of net assets available for benefits and
the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented
for the purpose of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets
available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of the
individual funds, and is not a required part of the basic financial
statements.  The supplemental schedules and supplemental information by fund
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Such supplemental schedules
and supplemental information by fund have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material repects 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
                       YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

A.  THE PLAN

  GENERAL - General Motors Corporation (the "Corporation") and certain unions
  established The General Motors Personal Savings Plan for Hourly-Rate
  Employees in the United States (the "Plan"), a defined contribution plan,
  effective December 30, 1983.  Hourly employees of the Corporation, hired
  under a competitive hire agreement, adopted the Plan with certain
  modifications effective January 1, 1994.  Generally, eligible hourly-rate
  employees may participate and accumulate savings under the Plan on the first
  day of the first pay period next following the attainment of seniority, as
  defined in the Plan.  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 from 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).  The following brief description of the Plan is provided
  for general informational purposes only.  Participants should refer to the
  Plan document and prospectus for a complete description of the Plan's
  provisions.

  PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS - An eligible participant employed by the
  Corporation (an "Eligible Employee") may elect to make pre-tax
  contributions, in 1% increments, up to 18% of eligible weekly earnings as
  defined in the Plan up to the maximum IRS 401(k) Limit ($9,240).  In
  addition, an Eligible Employee may elect to contribute up to 100% of his or
  her profit sharing distribution from The General Motors Profit Sharing Plan
  for Hourly-Rate Employees to his or her account in the Plan.  Profit
  sharing amounts contributed to the Plan on behalf of an Eligible Employee
  are invested in the same investment option(s) as selected by the
  participant for weekly contributions to the Plan.  Employee contributions
  vest immediately.

  EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS - For certain employees hired on or after January 1,
  1994, the Corporation contributes an amount equal to 8% of eligible weekly
  earnings to such participants' accounts in the form of the Corporation's $1-
  2/3 par value common stock.  Such participants must be in the Plan for at
  least three years to be vested in assets acquired with employer
  contributions, at which time such assets may be transferred by the
  participant to other available investment options.

  INVESTMENT OPTIONS - The participants must direct, in 10% increments, how
  their contributions are to be invested.  A description of each investment
  option offered under the Plan follows:

  GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION COMMON STOCK - Under this investment option,
  contributions are invested by the Trustee in General Motors common stock,
  $1-2/3 par value.  The return on investment will be determined by the
  market price of the General Motors common stock and by the amount of any
  dividends paid thereon.

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

  Each participant directs the Trustee how to vote common stock shares
  allocated to his or her account.  The Trustee will not exercise voting
  rights with respect to those shares for which a direction has not been
  received by the required deadline.

  UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT SAVINGS BONDS - Prior to January 1, 1994, contributions were invested in Series EE United States
  Government Savings Bonds.  Effective January 1, 1994, the United States Government Savings Bonds investment option was no
  longer offered as an investment option.

  EQUITY INDEX FUND - Under this investment option, contributions are invested in a portfolio of common stocks managed by an
  investment manager.  The investment manager maintains a portfolio which is designed to match the performance of the Standard &
  Poor's 500 Index.  This Index is a broad-based index of large companies which operate in a wide variety of industries and
  market sectors and which represent over two-thirds of the market capitalization of all publicly traded common stocks in the
  United States.

  Assets invested in the Equity Index Fund are expressed in terms of units.  The number of units credited to a participant's
  account will be determined by the amount of pre-tax contributions and the current value of each unit in the Equity Index Fund.
  The following summarizes the Fund's number of units and the current value of each unit for the specified periods ended:

                                           Number           Current Value

  invested in equity and fixed income investments selected from opportunities available in the entire global capital market,
  including large and small capitalization common stocks, investment grade bonds and commingled trust funds.  Investments may
  also include non-investment grade bonds, convertible securities, real estate, emerging market investments, and venture
  capital, and may be issued by U.S. or non-U.S. issuers.

  Assets invested in the Balanced Fund are expressed in terms of units and are valued in the same manner as noted above for the
  Equity Index Fund.  The following summarizes the Fund's number of units and the current value of each unit for the specified
  periods ended.

  At December 31, 1994                   118,976.3907          $101.57

  LOAN FUND - Once each year, Eligible Employees may borrow from their plan accounts.  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 as of the last business day of the previous quarter.  Interest paid on the loans is credited back to the
  borrowing employee's account in the Plan.  Loans not repaid within the maximum loan term are deemed to be distributions from
  participants' accounts.

  TRANSFER OF FUNDS - Generally, each participant is entitled one time each month to transfer a specified portion or all of his
  or her interest in any of the investment options to other options offered under the Plan.

  PARTICIPANT WITHDRAWALS - A participant may withdraw funds in their account at any time after attaining age 59-1/2, or prior to
  age 59-1/2, because of termination of employment, death, total and permanent disability, or financial hardship.  Prior to
  receiving a withdrawal for financial hardship, a participant previously must have taken all available asset distributions,
  withdrawals, and loans under all applicable plans maintained by the Corporation.  The amount that may be withdrawn for a
  financial hardship is limited as defined in the Plan.  The funds that represent a hardship distribution must conform to
  conditions required by the Internal Revenue Service.  A participant who receives a hardship distribution shall have his or her
  contributions to the Plan suspended for 12 months following the distribution as required by law.

  Withdrawals payable to participants included in net assets available for benefits were $0 and $6,589,368 at December 31, 1994
  and 1993, respectively.

  LINE OF CREDIT - Loans outstanding at December 31, 1993 represent draws on a $37,500,000 line of credit with NationsBank N.C.,
  N.A.  The line of credit was terminated on December 31, 1994.  All administrative costs and interest associated with the line
  of credit were paid by the Corporation.

B.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

  o      The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual method of accounting.

  o      Investments are stated at fair value, except for investment contracts, which are stated at contract value.  Fair values
   are calculated by reference to published market quotations, where available; where not available, various bases, including
   cost, are used in determining estimates of fair values.  Contract value represents contributions made under the investment
   contracts, plus interest, less withdrawals or administrative expenses charged by the issuer of the contract.

  o      Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.

  o      Investment income is recognized as earned based on the terms of the investments and the periods during which the
   investments are owned by the Plan.

                                                                   - 10 -

  o    Certain costs of Plan administration are paid by the Corporation.

C.  THE GENERAL MOTORS BALANCED FUND MASTER TRUST

  Investments in the Balanced Fund are held in The General Motors Balanced Fund Master Trust (the "Master Trust") established by
  the Corporation in 1994.  The Master Trust contains an account for each of the three investment managers and a
  contribution/distribution account.

  The Master Trust permits commingling of the assets of more than one employee benefit plan sponsored by the Corporation for
  investment and administrative purposes.  Each of the plans participating in the Master Trust has an undivided interest in the
  net assets of the Master Trust.  As of December 31, 1994, the Plan had approximately a 21% interest in the Master Trust.  The
  net asset value of the Master Trust is calculated on a semi-monthly basis and is allocated to each participating plan based on
  the Plan's interest in the Master Trust, as compared with the total interest in the Master Trust of all the participating
  plans.

  The assets of the Master Trust at December 31, 1994 are summarized as follows:

            Equity investments                             $8,144,644
            Fixed income investments                          995,945
            Commingled trust funds:

                                                          -----------
            Total                                         $58,432,582
                                                          ===========

  The Master Trust's total investment return for the year ended December 31, 1994 is summarized as follows:

            Interest                                         $110,702
            Dividends                                         319,227

                                                          -----------
            Total Investment Return                         ($91,711)
                                                          ===========

D.  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 a participant's interest in assets already in the
  Plan.

E.  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 IRS.  In December 1994, the
  amended Plan was submitted for another IRS determination which is currently pending.  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.


                                                                   - 11 -

F.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

  The following modifications have been made to the Plan effective January 1, 1995:

  o  Participant accounts will be valued daily rather than semi-monthly on a unit basis.

  o  Assets may be transferred among any of the investment options and on any business day.

  o  A new investment option, "Mutual Funds," has been added to the existing investment options, which offers many individual
   mutual funds.

  o  Separate master trusts were established for investments in the Corporation's common stocks, the Equity Index Fund, and the
   Income Fund.  Such master trusts permit commingling of the assets of more than one employee benefit plan sponsored by the
   Corporation for investment and administrative purposes.

  o  The specified annual interest rate for assets invested in the Income Fund will be determined quarterly instead of monthly.

  o  Account balance statements will be furnished four times per year instead of the previous two times per year.

  o  The Corporation's common stock investments will be converted to unitized company stock funds.


                                                                 * * * * * *
