Late '30s Humber. |

That's what I was thinking... but the drop-down beltline doesn't match, I'm afraid.  -- Last edit: 2007-06-09 11:17:18 |

Maybe a Hillman 14 then? They shared many panels. |

Hillman doesnt have the droop at the rear either..... I am thinking it is a coachbuilt body, on either a Humber imperial or an American car (Canadian Buick??) Just had a further thought, the mid 30's morris 14 HP has the droop, but is too small for this car, didnt they make a 20-25HP car at this time? -- Last edit: 2007-06-17 13:00:43 |

1937 Standard Flying Twelve (or possibly Flying Fourteen) I guess. Needs to be confirmed I believe. The fastback (flying) shape door hinge arrangement chrome side-strips on the bonnet all match. The dropping belt-line form appears to match also (not 100% sure however as I cannot find a good side-view currently). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Standard_12_Saloon_1937.jpg |

I think that it _is_ a Humber, but a slightly earlier model than has previously been considered. The proportions do seem very Humber-like and the 1936-7 big Humber saloons had the "drooping" belt line seen here. The rear window was one-piece, rather than two-piece (as on the 1938 cars), but I think that the car seen here probably does have a one-piece rear window, even though the near-side rear pillar, seen through the window, does initially give the impression of a two-piece one. For comparison, see http://www.pioneer-automobiles.co.uk/Resources/library2/Humber_Snipe_Imperial.html ; also the 1936 Humber page in the Classic Car Catalogue: http://www.classiccarcatalogue.com/HUMBER%201936.html . The same car could well be visible on the far left in /vehicle_160146-Wolseley-12-48-1948.html . -- Last edit: 2013-03-12 18:01:49 |
