GM was delisted by the NYSE a year and a half ago after filing for bankruptcy protection. It retained its well-known ticker symbol of GM.
The shares hit an intraday high of $35.99.
GM CEO Dan Akerson rang the opening bell at the NYSE Thursday morning, except the sound wasn't a bell. Viewers heard the sound of a Chevrolet Camaro engine starting up instead.
During a morning interview with CNBC, Akerson noted that GM plans to produce more fuel-efficient cars. In fact, he is scheduled to make an announcement related to energy and environmental sustainability during a media conference call this afternoon.
