By Frank Hague, Tue Dec 6th
The Rapid Motor Vehicle Company was started in 1902 by MaxGrabowski. It was the manufacturer of some of the earliest trucks and waspurchased in 1909 by GM. In 1912 the name GMC was first used atthe New York Auto Show and in 1996 the suffix Truck was dropped. What most people don't know is that GMC also makes cars.
In 1902 Max Grabowski founded a company called the "Rapid MotorVehicle Company", which developed some of the earliestcommercial trucks ever designed. In 1909 the company was boughtby General Motors to form the basis of the General Motors TruckCompany, from which GMC Truck was made. In 1912 the name "GMCTruck" was first shown at the New York Auto Show. In 1996 GMdropped the word 'truck' from the GMC Truck name, thus creatingthe GMC name as we know it today. There never was a GrabowskiMotor Company or a Grabowski Motor Corp. They now make personal automobiles, as well as pickup truck andbus engines. General Motors Corporation NYSE: GM, also known as GM, is aUnited States-based automobile maker with worldwide operationsand brands including Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Daewoo, GMC,Holden, Hummer, Opel, Pontiac, Saturn, Saab, and VauxhallChevrolet and GMC divisions produce trucks, as well as passengervehicles.
