Year and make please, get it right and earn a point

[Amsterdam]

Next step for this one. Experts?

[Tackitt]

Internal combustion?

[Amsterdam]

I have no info on the engine for this

[Tackitt]

U.S.?

[Tackitt]

Oh hell, let's just go for it:

1908 Grabowsky?

[Amsterdam]

U.S.?   

1908 Grabowsky? 

[Tackitt]

Too bad. 'Cause it sure looks a lot like a 1910 Grabowsky which is the year GMC bought them out:

[Amsterdam]

Same concept but it is not the same. It is no Grabowsky, It is 1908 though.
Keep looking you'll find it.

So U.S. made from 1908

[Tackitt]

A 1908 Denver Omnibus then?

[Amsterdam]

No, not the name I have

[milos62]

RAPID , H.G. Hamilton, Pontiac, MICH.  - 1908

[Amsterdam]

That is indeed what it is.

Grabowsky is then kind of correct too, as Rapid=Grabowsky.
They apparently never did build a truck with the name Grabowsky, only as Rapid.
Well this is my understanding anyway.

I would agree too that if the question would have been. Who where the founders of this Motor Vehicle Company, as you said no car under the name Grabowsky was ever produced.
Not even before 1904, when they changed the name from Grabowsky Motor Vehicle Company into
Rapid Motor Vehicle Company, where vehicles sold under the name Rapid
As the puzzle question was only make and year, 1908 Rapid is the only correct answer is my understanding anyway

Hence my "kind-of".
