The Neiman Marcus Christmas Book debuted in 1926 and has expanded from a 16-page booklet into a vast catalog that includes fantasy gifts such as a $6.1 million, 30.86-carat diamond complete with naming rights from the Gemological Institute of America.
The Christmas Book has also become known for offering some of the hottest cars of the year. In the past, Neiman Marcus has hawked everything from an Aston Martin DBS Superleggera to a Ford Thunderbird.
That trend continues as the company has teamed up with Barrett-Jackson to offer an exclusive GMC Hummer EV Edition 1. The one-off model costs $285,000 and features a custom interior curated by Barrett-Jackson CEO Craig Jackson.

Among the highlights are two-tone leather seats with anodized metal accents featuring Barrett-Jackson badging. The model also sports a Barrett-Jackson branded steering wheel, red accents and a “1 of 1” badge on the center console. Elsewhere, there are Neiman Marcus accents on the dashboard and headrests.
The white exterior largely carries over, but the truck has been equipped with customized running boards and entry lights that project an “NM” logo. The company also noted the truck comes equipped with transparent sky panels as well as the Extreme Off-Road Package which includes underbody protection, rock sliders and 18-inch wheels wrapped in 35-inch off-road tires.
Since the special edition is based on the GMC Hummer EV Edition 1, it has a tri-motor powertrain that produces 1,000 hp (746 kW / 1,014 PS) and enables the truck to accelerate from 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in approximately three seconds. Drivers can also expect a range in excess of 350 miles (563 km).
Besides the Hummer, the buyer will receive a charging station, two VIP passes for the invitation-only Barrett-Jackson Opening Night Gala ahead of the Scottsdale auction, and access to Carolyn and Craig Jackson’s personal skybox at the auction itself. They’ll also receive the truck at the auction and have the opportunity to “drop the gavel” at the event. Furthermore, $10,000 will be donated to The Heart of Neiman Marcus Foundation.
