Detroit, Mich. - The world’s premiere off-road vehicles, the HUMMER H1 and H2, are at five new GM HUMMER dealerships; Columbus, Ohio, Allentown, Pennsylvania, Providence, Rhode Island, West Palm Beach, Florida, Madison, Wisconsin, and Norwood, Massachusetts bringing the HUMMER dealer network to 153 dealers nationwide.
In each of these markets General Motors signed a new HUMMER sales agreement with dealerships that exemplify the highest standards of performance among GM dealers in customer service, sales and profitability.
As of January 30, 2003 the newest HUMMER dealerships in the HUMMER Network include:
Ronald Joseph opened HUMMER of Columbus for the Columbus market in Dublin, Ohio.
Andrew Scott opened Scott HUMMER for the Allentown market in Emmaus, Pennsylvania.
In Rhode Island, Christopher Hurd opened Hurd HUMMER in Johnston, Rhode Island.
Charles Schumacher opened HUMMER of the Palm Beaches in West Palm Beach, Florida.
In Wisconsin, John Bergstrom opened Bergstrom HUMMER of Madison.

“GM is proud to announce these new dealerships for GM’s HUMMER division. GM HUMMER dealers represent an elite group whose commitment to customer service and sales performance is truly outstanding,” said Steve Hill, HUMMER director of sales and service.
The addition of these seven new dealer points brings the total number of new GM HUMMER dealerships from 147 of the 153 in North America.
Customers at the new GM HUMMER dealerships can expect treatment competitive with other luxury manufacturers. By 2004, all HUMMER dealerships will include a unique and daring dealer environment. The first of these HUMMER exclusive stores is Bergstrom HUMMER of Milwaukee, which opened July 10, 2002.
The GM HUMMER division consists of two models, the H1, based on the military HUMVEE, and the all-new 2003 H2 SUV. The H1 has two distinct body styles, a 4-Door Wagon and 4-Door Soft-Top. The H2 SUV went on sale in July of 2002 and is the top selling large luxury SUV in the US.
General Motors and AM General reached an agreement in December 1999 in which GM acquired exclusive ownership of the HUMMER brand name worldwide.
