They’re big. They’re bulky. They’re nearly indestructible. Now they're just part of car history after the GM bankruptcy left this brand for dead.

Still, they are the monstrous vehicles you hate to get stuck behind and wish you were driving. The Hummer brand held an interesting place in the American auto market – a military vehicle for the discerning nouveau riche. These behemoths flash status like none other, with bright colors and huge chrome grilles.

The HI, or Humvee, was originally a military production vehicle designed for high endurance in extreme environments. The original manufacturer, AM General, first released a civilian H1 in 1992. Since then, the Hummer has gained serious status, and the brand name was purchased by General Motors in 1998. While AM General continues to make the H2 and H3 for consumer use, the H1 has returned to exclusive military status.
