Will Hummers become valuable classics?

Do you think these Hummers will become valuable?

Like the '57 Chevy I believe H2's will become a classic in 30-40 years. But not the orange ones. Especially the ones with gray seats.

Dont forget about the ones with the Mounted rear spare tire, brush guard. 100K miles. They wont be classics either.

My Hummer's better than your Hummer!

Personally.....not just because I own a 72k mileaged 2005 Pewter SUT w/ Adventure & LUX Pkgs, I think SUT's will be in higher demand as time goes by. The truck is lighter and has a more BADASS look. And with Air-suspension "ON" has a KILLER cruisin' stance. I had a 11 year old kid walk clear across a parking lot with his mother to take a look at my truck. His mother told me he was in awe of my HUMMER and just wanted to check it out. Keep in mind all of the young ones who think the trucks are BADASS and also most likely be looking for them 10-15 years from now. Also STOCK with all possible OEM options would also make it more valuable, can you imagine trying to find a Tonneau cover in working order and good condition 5-10 years from now?

This is just too coincidental to not share. The wife and I just pulled up to a space in a parking lot when a very nice black H2 comes driving by. She says, "There's a really beautiful Hummer." I agree and we get out to walk toward the store. So I start to tell her about the post I made on the Hummer forum about how I think H2's will be classics like '57 Chevy's in 30-40 years. But before I can get to my little dig about orange ones, she interrupts and says, "Not the orange ones." I about busted a gut. After 37 years of marriage I guess we have come to think very much alike.

I guess orange is an acquired taste.

I'm in Arizona on my annual Barret Jackson trek and attended a discussion by Haggerty's on buying classics yesterday afternoon, and the H2 and H1 were discussed as future classics, along with the current Mustang Boss 302, GT500, 94-96 Impala SS, and Corvette ZR1. The interest in customs is way up here, although I prefer stock when it comes to the old cars. I have enough Meguiars free samples to last me a year and I'm going to need another suitcase to pack in all the free stuff. The biggest buzz is about the Everham car coming up for bids tonight, as well as the Corvette C7 Vin 001 (there's a large betting pool on this with many guessing around a million), also the Shelby Mustang prototype tonight. This is something every car lover should do at least once!
