Give your desk a connection to early Detroit motoring with this Reliance Motor Car Company foldable mobile phone display stand. Reliance started automobile production in 1904 and added commercial trucks in 1906, before moving to truck-only production in February 1907. General Motors purchased the company in 1909, and its truck line evolved into the first GMC truck. It is a useful reminder of how a short-lived maker helped carry an automotive story from passenger cars into commercial vehicles.
Reliance automobiles were built in Detroit, Michigan, from 1904 to 1907 by the Reliance Automobile Manufacturing Company. Designed by E. O. Abbott and W. K. Ackerman, both formerly with Cadillac, the two-cylinder cars had 3.2-liter water-cooled engines, selective transmissions, and shaft drive. The company promoted its side-entrance tonneau as a first in the United States and dated production to 1903, although the article identifies 1904 as the start of manufacture and notes that Peerless and Orlo also introduced side-entrance bodies that year. A 1905 model used a King of Belgium tonneau body and cost $1,250. Under-capitalized, the company reorganized in 1904 as Reliance Motor Car Company, with Fred O. Paige taking charge shortly afterward. It added commercial trucks in 1906 and, from February 1907, made trucks only. Reliance sold its passenger-car production, which later became the Crescent automobile. General Motors purchased Reliance in 1909; the truck line evolved into the first GMC truck. Paige later left to build his own Paige automobile.
