Landaulet (carriage)

A landaulet or landaulette carriage is a cut-down (coupé) version of a landau horse-drawn carriage. The landaulette retains the rear half of the landau's two-part folding top.
The earliest use of the word shown in the "Oxford English Dictionary" is in a patent of 1771, using the former spelling landawlet.
A variant of the brougham called a "brougham-landaulette" had a top collapsible from the rear doors backward.
The name landaulette was also used for the landaulet car body style, where the passengers are covered by a removable top and the chauffeur is usually covered and separated from passengers by a division.
