golden coach

Gilded royal carriage

A golden coach is an ornate ceremonial carriage, typically gilded and elaborately decorated, used for royal occasions such as coronations and state openings of parliament.

The most famous is the Gold State Coach used by the British monarch since 1762.

Figuratively, golden coach can suggest fairy-tale transformation or regal treatment: She arrived like Cinderella in her golden coach.
