File 43 of 52, Humber 12 HP Vogue saloon 1937 r3q.JPG (1/2) - 454 Kbytes

That's interesting pillarless styling. Do you know who built the body for
this Humber? I have the same car in the A-Z of Cars of the 1930s so it may
well have been a factory build. I don't remember if Rootes had already
purchased Thrupp & Maberly by this time; if so, this could have been one of
their bodies.

Hi, Max

Thrupp and Maberly were purchased by Rootes in 1925. This Humber would
almost certainly be one of theirs; the pillarless style is typical of
them, and they built many of Sunbeam's and Humber's cars during the
1930s.
