Two views of the rear: [Image: vlcsnap-2013-06-05-17h17m15s156.jpg] [Image: vlcsnap-2013-06-05-17h18m37s108.jpg]
Judging by my small error, this car should be listed as a 1963 Series IV model.

Could be 61+ S3 or 63+ S4 on what I can see. May be this one again - /vehicle_176448-Humber-Super-Snipe-1961.html ?? Maybe /vehicle_571806-Humber-Super-Snipe-1961.html as well ...

This Humber shows up in nearly as many episodes as the Batmobile! Years ago at a fan event where Adam West, Frank Gorshin, Julie Newmar, and producer Lorenzo Semple Jr. were attending, I asked if that car belonged to one of them or to William Dozier, but none of them knew. I bet it belonged to someone on the crew, or maybe one of the directors... :??:

Rear window profile rules out Series IV, so it must be Series III, 1960-62.

An interesting car to feature, I spotted it outside the club in episode 1.01, along with a lot of other British cars.

Were these sold in the USA, even as a special order through Chrysler dealers?

Yes - Rootes had a US distribution network, mainly for Sunbeam Alpines at that point, later reinforced by Imp sales. Other Rootes-jewels - Humbers, Minxes, Rapiers etc - trickled through as well. A bit early for Chrysler links.
