Humbers!!

[glemon]

I spotted three of them in a small town called Wahoo, about 20 minutes north of Lincoln, NE. They are all complete and not rust free, but not overly rusty.

I will let the experts sort out exactly what they are, but the black one next to the station wagon, sorry, "estate", badged an "Imperial" which at one time was a Limousine, but by the time these were made was really more of a high end Super Snipe, which is a somewhat misleading name for something that looks and I think performs like a 7/8s scale late 50s American car.







Estate is full of parts, looked like more Humber bits, dude has cornered the US market looks like.

The Humber shall rise again, reclaiming its former glory.

Long live Humber!

(Were these for sale, or ... ?)

Important! Wahoo is the birthplace of Howard Hanson!

Speaking of Humbers, how's the new garage coming? We haven't seen any pictures of the shed moving on pipes. When will your Humber arrive?

(sorry if I hijacked this thread)

I didn't talk to anybody when I looked at the car, the lot they were on looked more or less like a used car lot, but on of those that wasn't turning over the stock very quickly, I would guess they were for sale, or at least that it might be open to negotiation. It was a gravel lot, with a large repair garage with some semis in it, I drive through coffee shop, which was actually pretty active, and some older cars sitting around (not as old as the Humbers, but far from late model creampuffs, most of which looked like they would need at least a jump to get going).

Neat! I went to our local Britfest car show last year (it's coming up again on Saturday, May 2).

Anyway, I saw these very nice Humbers at that 2014 show:
