The Supercar Registry - You Can't Make This Stuff Up!

You've seen this logo a thousand times right? Think it stands for General Motors Corporation? If you do . . . you are incorrect.

Quote:

In 1909, William Durant was busy building General Motors, using Buick as the foundation. That same year, he purchased the country’s leading luxury motorcar manufacturer, Cadillac. According to one version of the story, Durant also “wanted a truck to combat Henry Ford’s stranglehold on that market.”

He arranged to buy the Grabowsky Motor Company, as it was highly regarded for its truck products. But the terms of the sale included a requirement that the name would not be changed. By the legend’s logic, GMC still stands for Grabowsky Motor Company, and not General Motors Corporation.

Barracuda with the rare M46 option. An inexpensive way ($35.80) to make your Barracuda look different. Not available with the Elastomeric Bumpers. Only 400 Barracudas were ordered with this appearance option.

This one may be a repost. It's a first for me. The commentary says the cars was totaled.
