The car is actually a Humber Super Snipe, made by the Rootes group. The engine is a 3L striaght-6 of Armstrong-Siddeley origin.

LOL.

I have never heard of this car ever.

Plus it's funny that the OP doesn't know what an intake is, yet knows about this super rare (IMO) car.

I find that a little odd?

My first thought was British, but my only experience with British cars are sports cars, Austin Healey, MG, Triumph, Jag, and small-er engine bays, so there was a bit of cognitive dissonance there.

I have not either, and I have been pretty active in British cars and car shows over the past 20 years. Likewise, I never paid a whole lot of attention to the sedans, but I have driven some Ramblers, even an Allard, but I have never seen or heard of these.

couldnt be, studebaker went out of business in 1966, and it was an american car built in canada at the time, and thus not british. also they didnt have a dual overhead cam engine.

I grew up in a country with no classic car appreciation scene, but was interested in looking at old car pictures/seeing videos from a very young age. Here in the US, my only experience with classic cars have been a couple of car shows. Thus I don't know much about internals of classic car, but can recognize many makes/models from pictures. Hope that clears your confusion.
