Roots to the GMC brand can be traced to 1900, when the "Grabowsky Motor Company" was established by brothers Max and Morris Grabowsky in Detroit. Renamed Rapid Motor Vehicle Company in 1902 when the brothers moved operations to Pontiac, Michigan. In 1909, William C. Durant gained control of Rapid Motor Vehicle Company and made it a subsidiary of his General Motors Company.

In 1912, the Rapid and Reliance names were dropped in favor of "GMC".
