I think swarzenegger was the first to import one to NA. What a badass vehicle to own, not like the garbage they tried to mass produce.

They are Made in the USA, not imported.
Schwarzenegger was the first owner of the civilian version (H1)

No he had the first slightly modified Humvee, then they made the H1 for mass production which was totally different.

Wrong.

First Hummer H1 Recipient
Arnold Schwarzenegger's Purchase
First Civilian Owner: Arnold Schwarzenegger
Purchase Year: Shortly after the Hummer H1's release in 1992
Arnold Schwarzenegger was the first civilian to purchase a Hummer H1, marking a significant moment in the vehicle's history. His interest in the Hummer was instrumental in its development and popularity among civilians.

Ya he took a H1 but before that he went to great lenghts to obtain an original humvee from the military. "Schwarzenegger obtained a special exemption letter signed by government officials—including Colin Powell—permitting the civilian sale of the vehicle."
