calash
Horse-drawn convertible vehicle
A calash is a light, low-wheeled carriage with a folding top, popular in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The term also refers to a woman's folding hood, fashionable in the same period, designed to protect elaborate hairstyles—its collapsible frame resembling the carriage top.
She raised the calash of her bonnet against the wind.
