    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.

    Yep.... I don't think they even make cars now do they? Maybe some gay crossover or something....

    No cars. Just trucks since 1912.

    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.:)

    along. We might have to slip you in

    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.
