1920s-1940s

From the 1920s to the 1940s, GMC saw exponential growth, success, and innovation. In 1925, a GMC truck drove from coast to coast in just over five days, a feat that had taken an entire month back in 1916. Over the course of three decades, GMC acquired new businesses, made incredible strides in automotive technology, and would produce more than 600,000 trucks for the war effort during World War II.

1950s-1990s

GMC vehicles were a beacon of post-war American luxury and wealth in the 1950s and 1960s. The company produced leisure vehicles, including family vans and off-roaders, that reflected the increased free time families found themselves with.

GMC continued to innovate over the following decades, introducing its first SUV, the sedan-truck hybrid Sprint, compact pickups, and more. The 1990s saw a focus on design for better aerodynamics and more powerful performance.
