Hummer: Why You Won’t See Any New Hummers around Chicago Anymore

2009 Hummer H2 SUV

We see Hummers on the road every day. There are different size and color hummers, SUVs with open roof, even Hummers, stretched into luxury Chicago limousines. But do we ever think why the SUV is so popular around the country and in Chicago?

Hummer is a brand of an SUV, which first appeared to the public in 1992. It was developed by GM based on the military Humvee model M998. The civilian version was called Hummer H1, and the side models were called H2 and H3. The H1 was still looking very much like the original Humvee, however, the H2 and H3 were smaller cars directed toward the civilian market.

Hummer was doing well until the 2008 economic decline. After GM went bankruptcy, Chinese manufacturers were trying to buy the brand. However, under complicated circumstances the bid was cancelled. By 2010, however, it was clear that no one repurchased the brand and the Hummer was discontinued.

The fact that the Hummer was discontinued was hard to Chicago limo services. The stretched Hummer SUV is the most popular vehicle among the wedding parties. The luxurious look of the vehicle enhances wedding pictures and makes transportation unforgettable. Moreover, it is one of the most popular stretch limousines for birthday parties such as Sweet 15s, Sweet16s and Quinceaneras.

Interior of the Stretch Chicago Hummer Limousine

So how Chicago wedding limo service operators deal with the loss of the Big H SUV? The older (2008, 2009) Hummers that were produced by coach builders are no longer top – notch cars. The interior of the vehicles got worn and the TVs, players got old too. The key of maintaining your Hummer fresh is to completely rebuild the interior of the vehicle. When doing so, we have a brand new exotic 2012 interior in the 2009 car. And that is not bad. Chicago parties love the look of the stretched Hummer SUV while enjoying new interior with nice ceilings, lasers and other build in amenities of the stretch limo.
