Humber Humber Pullman History
History
The Pullman was Humber's top-of-the-range car, a large chauffeur-driven limousine built from 1930. Dignified rather than sporting, it was the kind of car used by mayors, company chairmen and government departments, and reinforced Humber's reputation as the establishment's marque within the Rootes Group.
After the war the Pullman returned (from 1948) with a glass division behind the driver and seven-seat limousine and landaulette bodies; its mechanically identical owner-driver sibling, without the division, revived the Humber Imperial name. The Pullman ran until 1954, when the big separate-chassis Humbers gave way to the new unitary-construction generation.
