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.

Depends on what year the Suburban is.

For many years BOTH GMC and Chevy used the Suburban moniker. I know it was that way in the 80s.

OOPS. I see Keith beat me to it.

Here’s my loaded ‘03 Grabowsky.

I’d be lost without this Cadillac Van.
Great for hauling Schwinn Stingrays.

----Actually, you're right, funny because my GMC look alike is a Chevy Subby. I just like the GM grill so much more than the Chevy grill I changed them out along with a bunch of other small stuff. My friends all know that I can't leave anything alone!.....Bill S

Speaking of Grabowsky Motors Coporation Suburbans, My original-owner, 1995 GMC Suburban K2500, with a real Turbo-396 ...yeah it's a 6.5 diesel but I had the decals made up special for it. :-) It's covered 168,500 miles in 28 years.

The last photo is the original decal that GMC offered. We just flipped the "6" and used the "E" to get 396 from "6.5 Diesel"

This truck has brought all my kids home from the hospital when they were born, took them to all 4 years of college, and next month will be the limo for my daughter's wedding. I think I still have the original baby seat somewhere.

If you look closely, you can see the ultra-rare rocker scoop/faux brake duct on the rocker panel in front of the rear wheel well that was part of the M46 package

I know they look "boxy." Aerodynamics had yet to reach the auto industry. But they look so majestic.
