landau

four-wheeledfour-wheeled carriage, invented in Germany, seating four people on two facing seats with an elevated front seat for the coachman. It was distinguished by two folding hoods, one at each end, which met at the top to form a boxlike enclosure with side windows.

Usually, landaus were severely cut away beneath at each end, so that the bottom of the door was the lowest point of the carriage body
