GMC Sunshine Statesmen

WELCOME
From the members of the GMC Sunshine Statesmen

The GMC Sunshine Statesmen is the Florida contingent of a group of motorhome enthusiasts dedicated to the preservation of the classic GMC Motorhome built by General Motors starting in 1973 with a production of close to 13,00 units ending production in 1978. These unique vintage vehicles were built on a purpose built chassis (not a production truck chassis) and employed the powerful 455 and 403 Oldsmobile front wheel drive system also used the the groundbreaking Olds Toronado and Cadillac Eldorado cars of the time. Not only the drive train but also the body designed by Boeing with the entire coach deriving ideas and concepts from the GM design team, this vintage coach was so far ahead of it's time that even today they are a viable alternative to spending big dollars for a new coach.

Welcome to our web site, feel free to surf around and see what we are all about and investigate more on the internet about our classic motorhome and I think you will see why we are so enthusiastic about it's past and future. You do not have to live in Florida or even own a GMC to be affiliated with our club, we have an associate program where you can enjoy the rally schedule and information put out by club members and since we have many "snowbirds" who come to Florida during the winter months, our rally schedule runs from October through May so these folks can be involved-- besides it's rather hot during the summer down here and most of us sit in from of our air conditioners!

Please contact us if we can be of help, we hope to see you at one of our rallies-- oh, and thanks for the visit.

The end of the season and the steaks were great, go to Past Rallies for a report.
