Gmc Cars?

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 passenger 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.

 

Sure do love some of those big GM grills on the early trucks

 

only trucks mentioned in anything i ever read or saw,

 

Only GMC passenger vehicles I have ever known of were passenger 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.

Didn't it start off as Yellow Coach and then become GMT and finially GMC?

 

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 cocktails and burgers. God bless.

 

GMC did have a chevette----in argentina:



GMC is just so awesome.

 

Safari minivans, at least in Michigan were titled as station wagons.

 

Is it a car or a pick up? If I had one, the plae would be NOTAVAN. Cuz it sure as hell ain't a van!

 

yeah i just know of the elcamino of GMC during the 70's? or 80's?

You don't get invited??? No worries!
Next time I get an invite, I'll bring you
along. We might have to slip you in
via the servants entrance though!!

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.
