Humber is a dormant British automobile marque which could date its beginnings to Thomas Humber's bicycle company founded in 1868. Following their involvement in Humber through Hillman in 1928 the Rootes brothers acquired a controlling interest and joined the Humber board in 1932 making Humber part of their Rootes Group. The range focused on luxury models, such as the Humber Super Snipe.

Held on the 25th of September in West Humber Bay Park in Toronto, Ontario. This lowrider barbeque usually marks the end of car show season for another year. This is the first video where every single shot was done using a tripod. These are a lot tougher to do but the results speak for themselves. No still images are used in the video. Enjoy!

I record this extremely rare 1959 Humber Super Snipe Estate (wagon) out of a private collection of cars. The owner was kind enough to let me record the car quickly, this car is extremely rare especially in the states. the car has many interesting features such as a red leather interior, wood dashboard, and in the back (not shown) fold down tables. This british beauty is in the process of being restored so the engine is out of the car. please comment and rate!
