Introduce little ones to an early chapter of Detroit motoring with this Reliance Toddler Tee / T-Shirt. Reliance automobiles began production in 1904, featuring two-cylinder engines and distinctive tonneau bodies. The company later added commercial trucks and shifted to truck-only production in 1907. Its truck line was purchased by General Motors in 1909 and became the foundation of the first GMC truck. A thoughtful way to share automotive history with young enthusiasts and families who enjoy stories of pioneering vehicle makers.
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.
