ok so i know gmc made pickups and trucks since at least the fifties but when did they start making cars. I dont think i have ever seen a really old gmc car. Please enlighten me with your old car wisdom.
ive seen gmc from earlier than the fifties but they were all trucks, i have never seen gmc cars ive wondered the same myself
If you consider the GMC Sprint (GMC's El Camino) a car, rather than a truck, then you have your answer.
The only 'cars' GMC has made are the above-mentioned El Camino rebadgers, and the GMC Suburban (not really a car either). No conventional p***enger cars have ever been produced (in the USA anyway) by GMC (General Motors Truck and Coach) is how they were originally called...I believe. dj
Only GMC p***enger vehicles I have ever known of were p***enger vans and Suburbans that were just Chevys with different badges.
Does anyone have pictures of a 1929 GMC Town Car Panel truck? I ran across an artists rendering on a sales brochure for the 1929 GMC trucks, however I can't recall where I saw it. Looked very similar to the 30-31 Ford Model A Town Car Delivery only on a much larger scale.
GMC is much like Divco. It was a play to seperate the companys "golden" name from an "ugly" purpose built industrial vehicle. It's alot like the reason that I don't get invited to the Vanderbilt estate for ****tails and burgers. God bless.

Next time I get an invite, I'll bring you along. We might have to slip you in via the servants entrance though!! Mart3406 ============================
Bad link, use this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GMC_(automobile) I know it looks the same but in the first link the last bracket is dropped..... From wiki... In 2007, GMC introduced the Acadia, a crossover SUV, which is the company's first unibody vehicle. In 2009, GMC will introduce the all-new Terrain, a mid-size crossover SUV based on GM's Theta platform which will slot below the Acadia as GMC's smallest crossover. Its predecessor, the GMT-360 based Envoy, was discontinued with the closure of GM's Moraine, Ohio plant on December 23, 2008.
In 1933 GMC made a taxi cab that looked like a "stretch" 1933 Chevrolet sedan with a GMC grille. I have a picture of a GMC parts box that has the GMC logo and around it are the words "Trucks, buses, Taxi Cabs'. If I can find the pictures I will post them here.
