The HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose wheeled Vehicle) Hummve for insiders, began its career in 1979 as a prototype, prepared by AM General for testing by the US Army which wanted to replae the M-151 which had come to the end of its career. The 2 AM General competitors were Chrysler, with a vehicle derived from the project Saluki and Teledyne, with an adaptation of the Cheetah which was on another day and under other skies to be called the Lamborghini LM002.
The American star of the Gulf War and the mission in Somalia entered the civilian market for 1994. One of the first to acquire one was A. Schwarzenegger, the Terminator in person. If the parallel between the violent roles of the actor and the vocation of the Hummer is evident, I have the desire to find out why beyond show business, did Arnold picked this type of vehicle.
