landau
Two-section folding coach
A landau is a four-wheeled horse-drawn carriage with a convertible top that folds down in two sections, allowing passengers to ride in the open air.
The design influenced later automobiles—a landau roof on a car has a vinyl-covered rear portion, sometimes with decorative S-shaped bars called landau irons.
The formal landau carried the bride to the church. (Capitalized Landau is a German city or surname.)
