GMC Vehicles Handling

It has been 100 years since the keystone was set in the foundation of one of America's great truck makers - GMC. This took place in 1902 when Max Grabowsky sold his first truck to the American Garment Cleaning Company of Detroit. Later that year, the Grabowsky Motor Vehicle Company was reorganized as Rapid Motor Vehicle Company. By 1904, Rapid would turn out 75 trucks from a factory in Pontiac, Mich.

GMC celebrated 75 years of design, engineering and production innovation during its Diamond Anniversary in 1977. An advertisement noted that GMC employees were known as the "truck people within General Motors." It said that the 1977 line offered, "models from 1/2-ton to 3-1/2-tons and trucks for people, trucks for freight, trucks for fun."

GMC entered the New Millennium as official sponsor of the U.S. Olympic team. The name Classic Sierra was applied to its large 2000 pickups. The GMC Suburban got GMT800 styling and became the Yukon XL while the regular Yukon was redesigned. Two new concept trucks - the 2000 Teradyne "professional grade pickup" and the 2001 Terracross "SUV of Tomorrow" - made the scene to reinforce GMC's image as a truck builder with a 100-year history of excellence and innovation.

Other milestones achieved by GMC trucks built up their reputation and sales. During 1927, "Cannonball" Baker broke all records for an Atlantic-to-Pacific run by driving a six-cylinder-powered GMC 2-ton tanker from New York to San Francisco in 5 days and 17-1/2 hours. Four years later, a refrigerated GMC truck and trailer operated by Southern California Freight Lines carried the first transcontinental shipment of refrigerated produce in 117 hourS.
