Re: Will Hummers become valuable classics?
Think Grand Wagoneer from '62 into '91; that's very much my impression of the H2's future into collectibility.
The Wagoneer is a really cool proven luxury 4x4 and nice original or restored models go for decent, not outrageous money.
I don't think the deuce is going to be highly collectible or worth outrageous money just because of the production numbers.
Of those made, of course the '09 will always be the most coveted due to the sheer low numbers made, and a few of them got a couple really cool options that most H2's never got--heated steering wheel, power pedal adjust and bucket seats in the second row.
Along with the '09's, the limited edition H2's that were released will also be more desirable, and more so with all of the extras that came on them. Many LE owners have already taken the LE steps off, some have taken the lightbars off, and some have stripped all the chrome for black. So nice original LE's will be a good find with the special paint.
As for me, I'm just going to enjoy our H2 as long as I can.
