Four-Wheeled Horse-Drawn Carriages

Passenger carriages on four wheels, from the stagecoach and the covered landau to the Victorian brougham, wagonette and charabanc. An entry belongs here when the cited article calls the vehicle a four-wheeled carriage, coach or wagonette. It excludes two-wheeled carriages and carts. Entries are placed by what their own cited article says, so each one sits in the narrowest group its source supports, and the group page lists it beside the other members.
