10 Little things About GMC
DETROIT – GMC is one of the longest-running brands in the General Motors portfolio, the second-largest of the four GM brands in U.S. sales, and a standard bearer for engineering in pickup trucks, SUVs, and crossover vehicles. Here are 10 little-known facts about GMC:
1-The GMC name turns 100 years old in 2012. In 1912, Rapid Motor Vehicle Company was merged with two others – Reliance and Randolph – to become GMC.
2-On August 1, 1909, a Rapid F-406-B – a GMC predecessor – was the first truck to reach the 14,110-foot summit of Pikes Peak.
3-If GMC was a standalone manufacturer, it would be the tenth-largest automaker in the United States in terms of total vehicle sales from January to November of 2011.
4-GMC built some of the world’s earliest electric vehicles from 1912-1917. These trucks had single-digit model names, each denoting load capacity, from one-half-ton to 12 tons.
5-GMC’s luxury-focused Denali trim level currently outsells the entire product lines of some premium automakers, including Land Rover, Jaguar, and Porsche.
6-GMC was tasked with engineering and production of the 1936 Parade of Progress vans and the 1941 Futurliners, which toured the country carrying mobile road shows.
7-Today, GMC and the Denali trim level are among the fastest-growing nameplates in the U.S. with respective sales increases of 22 percent and 91 percent year over year.
8-During World War II, GMC manufactured approximately 584,000 military vehicles, including the CCKW-353 “Deuce-and-a-Half” and the amphibious “Duck.”
9-The GMC Sierra – the brand’s top selling model – outsold the Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan combined, with 40,000 sales to spare, through the first 11 months of 2011.
10-From 1973-1978, GMC produced motorhomes in 23- and 26-foot lengths. They appeared in Bill Murray’s 1981 movie, Stripes and the 1996 blockbuster, Twister.

Business Owners Tax Incentive take Advantage at Borcherding Buick GMC
The 2011 Tax Stimulus Package1 provides significant tax benefits to business owners. New for 2011, if you purchase an eligible
vehicle, the available benefits in the first year may include:2
• Up to a 100% purchase price deduction, or
• Partial purchase price deduction followed by a 100% depreciation deduction
1 This program pertains to vehicles placed in service in the United States during 2011, with no written binding contract for acquisition in effect before 2011. Vehicles must be used for business at least 50% of the time.
Depreciation limits reduce by every percent of personal use less than 100%.
2 Each individual’s tax situation is unique, therefore, please consult your tax professional to confirm vehicle depreciation deduction and tax benefits. Consult your own tax advisor prior to claiming any credit.
3 IRC Section 280F(d)(7)(B) requires that the limitation under IRC Section 280F(a)(1) be adjusted annually, based on the CPI automobile component for October of the preceding year. IN Revenue Procedure 2010-18,
the IRS adjusted the Section 280F depreciation limit to $3,160 for trucks and vans and $3,060 for passenger automobiles placed on service during 2010, which are not subject to the Section 168(k) election to decline
the bonus depreciation and AMT depreciation relief. The applicable first-year depreciation limits have been temporarily increased by $8,000. These amounts are subject to a CPI adjustment for 2011.
4 Each $25,000 deduction contributes to the $500,000 aggregate deduction limitation under Section 179.
5 Additional limitation based on purchases – For the 2011 tax year, the aggregate deduction of $500,000 under Internal Revenue Code Section 179 is most beneficial to small businesses that place in service no more
than $2,000,000 of “Section 179 property” during the year. For every dollar spent on Section 179 property in excess of $2,000,000, the $500,000 tax deduction decreases by a dollar. Certain vehicles models and
restrictions apply. Passenger Vans that seat less than 10 people behind the driver’s seat will have a limit of $25,000. Vans that seat more than 9 people behind the drivers seat and Cargo Vans will will have a $500,000
aggregate limit under Section 179 on the amount of first year deduction. Consult your tax professional for details.
6 Consult your own tax advisor before claiming any credit.
