The Humber Pullman
- A four-door limousine which was introduced by the British Humber company in 1930 as a successor to the Humber 20/65 hp and long-wheelbase version of the Humber Snipe.
- In 1939 an upgraded version was launched badged as the Humber Imperial, but postwar the car reverted to the Pullman name. - Between 1948 and 1954 the car was offered with a central partition (for chauffeured use) as the Pullman, but without a partition was badged as the Humber Imperial for owner-drivers.
- The Pullman / Imperial was not offered for sale to the public during the Second World War; the factory's limited output were used as staff cars.
- It returned to the market in 1945 and remained in production till 1954.
- At the present time only eight units of this vehicle are still extant.
