Hummer Guy

The 2009 HUMMER H3T made a rare, out-of-auto-show appearance last week at the Red Rock Resort in Las Vegas. The hotel was hosting General Motors’ “fleet and commercial show,” and one of the bartenders at the resort snapped these pictures. GM had some other new vehicles on display including the ZR1 Corvette and the Chevy Camaro.

It looks like someone wanted to test out the HUMMER H3T’s water fording capability in the resort’s pool! For the record – it’s capable of fording 24 inches. The H3T looks like it is equipped with a GM accessory wheel that we haven’t seen before, but will likely be available through dealerships.

The UAW faithful at American Axle will soon be entering week 12 of their strike which has idled General Motors plants across the nation, including the HUMMER H2 plant in Mishawaka, IN and the HUMMER H3 plant in Shreveport, LA.

Long received the keys on April 25th during a ceremony in Times Square. This is the third consecutive year that HUMMER has honored a player that it feels is ‘Like Nothing Else.”

“Chris Long is a rookie who truly exemplifies the spirit of HUMMER,” said Martin Walsh, general manager for HUMMER. “Not only does he showcase talent and courage on the gridiron, but he equally exhibits strong character off of the field, a perfect match for the HUMMER brand.”

The two previous NFL draft recipients of HUMMER vehicles were Brady Quinn in 2007, and Reggie Bush in 2006.
