Editing Hummer (section)

===Origin===
[[AM General]] had planned to sell a civilian version of its Humvee as far back as the late 1980s. Having the same structure and most mechanical components, the civilian Hummers were finished in automotive gloss paint, adding passenger car enhancements such as [[air conditioning]], sound insulation, upgraded upholstery, stereo systems, wood trim, and convenience packages.<ref>{{cite web |url= http://www.maritimehummer.com/1997.html |title=Hummer still a rich man's toy |first=Al |last=Hass |website=maritimehummer.com |date=June 20, 1998 |access-date=April 6, 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110714034803/http://www.maritimehummer.com/1997.html |archive-date=July 14, 2011 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The civilian model began in part because of the persistence of [[Arnold Schwarzenegger]], who saw an Army convoy while filming ''[[Kindergarten Cop]]'' in Oregon and began to campaign and lobby for a civilian version to be available on the market.<ref>{{cite book|last=Leamer |first=Laurence |title=Fantastic: The Life of Arnold Schwarzenegger |year=2006 |publisher=St. Martin's Press |isbn=9781429906364 |page=278 |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=p_lPLwK8r0UC |access-date=December 16, 2017}}</ref>

In 1992, AM General began selling a civilian version of the M998 [[Humvee]] vehicle to the public under the brand name "Hummer".<ref name="corphistory">{{cite web |url= http://www.amgeneral.com/corporate/history.php |title=Company History |publisher=AM General |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20100826093659/http://www.amgeneral.com/corporate/history.php |archive-date=August 26, 2010 |url-status=dead |access-date=April 10, 2022}}</ref> The first two Hummer H1s to be sold were purchased by Schwarzenegger.
