Default Re: 25th Anniversary

That is an incredible reminder Ed!

I am beyond honored to be part of this incredible community that Jolly started all those years ago. It is hard to believe that 25 years have passed since he first started things off with an email group to recognize an almost forgotten piece of history. Together the group has become something very special and it has been a privilege to keep the wheels turning from 2013 to today and beyond.

Even if we can’t gather like we used to, the spirit of this club is alive and well thanks to every original member with a passion for GMCs and every new member that stumbles across the site to discover the rich history of the V6s. But also all of those in between that keep the spirit alive with photos, stories, and enthusiasm that is rare in a tiktok world. It is a labor of love, no doubt about it.

The fact that so many of you still find the site useful and valuable means more to me than I can say. This is piece of history that the community has all built together and I am proud to be part of it.

While my own health battles keep me from being here every day, just know that I am here often doing what I can to keep the site going for all of us who share a passion for these trucks. I doubt that the engineers that designed them ever imagined that 60 years later a rogue group of outlaws would be honoring them, much less drive them down streets when there were supposed to be so many flying cars overhead. The design was meant to be frugal, but it turns out that they built something truly different, that has survived long past when most of the other trucks of the time have needed rebuilding many times over or simply been scrapped.

Thank you to each and every one of you for your time and willingness to share what I and others consider sacred knowledge – Your presence is what makes this place so special.
