GMC History
In 1901, Max Grabowski established a company called the "Rapid
Motor Vehicle Company", which developed some of the earliest
commercial trucks ever designed. The trucks utilized one-cylinder
engines. In 1909, the company was purchased by General Motors
to form the basis for the General Motors Truck Company, from which GMC Truck was derived.
Another independent manufacturer purchased by GM that same year was Reliance Motor Car
Company. Rapid & Reliance were merged in 1911, and in 1912 the marque "GMC Truck" was
first shown at the New York Auto Show. 22,000 trucks were produced that year, though GMC's
contribution to that total was a mere 372 units.
