The last production Hummer?


As the last HUMMER H3 made its way down the assembly line at the Shreveport, Louisiana plant this year marking the end of HUMMER production and the downfall of an iconic vehicle, Hummer and 4 X 4 enthusiasts were saddened. The last HUMMER H3 was part of a special fleet order consisting of 850 units ordered by Avis car rental. The facility was brought back online this spring to complete this one last order. Since General Motors could not find a buyer they will retain the HUMMER brand and all its trademarks if they ever want to bring back a HUMMER vehicle. Although GM has been characteristically mum on the subject of bringing back the Hummer, used Hummers (especially H2s) are commanding higher prices and showing slower depreciation rates than in the past.
