In this episode I provide the history of the original Hummer brand, which in 1992 started with a civilian version of the military Humvee truck from AM General, named the Hummer. Later GM bought the rights to the Hummer name and renamed the truck the H1, and then released a slightly smaller (but still huge) truck called the H2 in 2002, and an even smaller truck called the H3 in 2006. A proposed H4 model never went to production as GM entered bankruptcy in 2009 and shut down Hummer by 2010. Today GM has brought back the Hummer name as a sub-brand under GMC for an all-electric truck, which other than size and the name, shares nothing with the original Hummer.
