A Brief History of Hummer

The Hummer was originally manufactured by AM General, which expressed interest in selling a civilian version of their Humvee in the late 1980s. Part of this demand came from Arnold Schwarzenegger, who spotted the Army Convoy Humvee while filming Kindergarten Cop in Oregon and insisted a civilian version be produced. The first two civilian H1 Hummers were sold to Schwarzenegger in 1992.

AM General sold the Hummer brand name to General Motors in December 1999. Shortly after, GM introduced the Hummer H2 and H3 models, and by 2006, Hummer vehicles were sold in 33 countries. However, rising oil prices led to decreased SUV demand, and in 2009, GM announced bankruptcy, which included discontinuing the Hummer brand. Despite this, many dedicated Hummer drivers remain in Whatcom County and the surrounding region. Hummer is set to return as a GMC sub-brand, with electric models launching starting in 2021.
