How GMC trucks got started

In 1901 Max Grabowski established Rapid Motor Vehicle Company where he manufactured the first commercial one-cyclinder engine trucks. General Motors bought him out in 1909; after that trucks from Grabowski's plant were named GMC (General Motors Truck Company). 

General Motors also bought out Reliance Motor Car Company in 1911 and merged both the newly purchased companies to make GMC Trucks. In 1916, a GMC truck crossed the country from west to east coast in 30 days.  In 1926 a GMC 2-ton made a similiar trip in 5 days.
