The Rapid Motor Vehicle Company was founded in 1902 in Pontiac, Michigan — by Grabowsky brothers, namely Max (1874–1946) and Morris (1870–1935) — whose earlier venture, Grabowsky Motor Vehicles Company had been founded in Detroit in 1900. They went on to build one-ton trucks and were the beginning of GMC Truck division after they were acquired by General Motors in 1909.
