Not Chrysler Imperial. Somebody has done something very strange to a Humber Super Snipe S3. |

Indeed, or a Humber Imperial (which will have caused the confusion). You'd think it would make more sense to do it to an Estate. -- Last edit: 2014-03-23 12:14:48 |

Older cabin than Imperial, and looks Super Snipe rear badging. Rear window size kept changing on these early super Snipes but it looks S3 to me, plus the heavier wrapround of front grille moulding. Never seen a conversion like this before, so assuming locally done; I also suspect there was Aus assembly of these big Humbers, but no evidence found. |

Here's another shot:![[Image: vlcsnap-2014-03-23-21h26m53s227.jpg]](http://pics.imcdb.org/7206/vlcsnap-2014-03-23-21h26m53s227.jpg) The badge on the back says "Automatic" in large lettering. -- Last edit: 2014-03-23 14:01:58 |

S3 launched Oct 60 in UK, the first version to have the 4 headlight front, and the only version to have this grille with bonnet lettering. Rear badge looks like the normal Super Snipe stylised bird badge - Link to "www.simoncars.co.uk" - plus a script which would be "Automatic" as you say. Imperial details for comparison - cabin, compact badges, simpler bumpers - /vehicle_671667-Humber-Imperial-1967.html - it only came in this Oct 64 onwards version of the Super Snipe S5. If this car has Imperial badging, it's either a name applied for the conversion or (perhaps) a local assembly name for the Super Snipe in Aus. As above I suspect there was some local assembly of big Humbers but have no evidence, and Imperial was a traditional Humber name from the 50s. |

Confirmed - big Humbers were built in Aus through 50s and 60s - Link to "web.archive.org" |
