landaulet

Half-topped vehicle

A landaulet is a car body style with a fixed roof over the front seats and a convertible top over the rear passenger compartment, allowing back-seat passengers to ride in open air while the driver remains covered.

The design originated in horse-drawn carriages and was popular for formal vehicles and limousines in the early twentieth century: The mayor waved from the open landaulet during the parade.
