town car

Executive black sedan

A town car is a large, luxurious sedan, typically black, used for chauffeured transportation.

The term originally described a style of automobile with an open driver's compartment and enclosed passenger area.

Now it usually means a hired car service positioned between taxis and limousines: We booked a town car to the airport.
