The world of hummers is a place one can get lost in. There are a host of trims available to pick from each offering its own blend of rugged and civilian use. Hummer fanatics would know that the machine we have today is a true rarity, and as a matter of fact, this 1996 Hummer H1 HMCO is from a one-year production run with only 213 models reportedly ever made.

Exterior and Interior
When you look at the Hummer, you need to understand that its design was not born for the road; it was built for war and later adapted for private use. This 1996 Hummer H1 HMCO features a black exterior and is a really aggressive-looking machine that’s ready to turn heads. A look at this off-road powerhouse reveals the black theme continuing throughout the exterior; in place are a crash bar and other exterior trim finished in black. Blending into the dark theme is stickering in yellow and a winch that assists when you’re off-road. Speaking of off-roading, this machine sits on a set of aftermarket black wheels, wrapped in thick off-road tyres. One big factor that turns many away from Hummer ownership is the lack of comfort; that bare bone feel was taken a bit too seriously, and there was little comfort to spare. Step into the two-tone black-and-tan interior, and you get the perfect balance of ruggedness and comfort. A look around the interior cabin and you would find leather seats for you and your passengers, an aftermarket Kenwood sound system for your tunes and an aftermarket Grant steering wheel for a better drive feel. This being an HMCO model means you have open-top motoring on demand as well.

Engine
​The Hummer’s big size meant its performance offering would need to mirror its size. Pop open the hood of this 1996 Hummer H1 HMCO, and what you get is a ginormous turbocharged 6.5L V8 motor ready for action. This Detroit’s finest channels all its performance to all four of its wheels through an automatic transmission.
