motor cars
Wheeled passenger transports
Motor cars is a somewhat dated or formal term for automobiles—self-propelled vehicles designed for road travel.
The phrase emphasizes the motorized nature of the vehicle, distinguishing it from horse-drawn carriages.
British English retains the term more than American English, where simply "cars" predominates: The museum displays motor cars from the 1920s.
