Yes - specifically in Astoria, Oregon. It was en route from Portland to Astoria and back that Arnold Schwartzenegger got a close glimpse of the humvee, inspiring him to try and buy one. The military declined, but it eventually prompted GM to begin making plans to market the HumVee to American consumers...

The rest is history, and profit

A.A.C.
