Chariot (carriage)

It would either be driven by a coachman, or the high driver's seat removed and guided by postilion riders.

It was popular from the late 17th century to the late 19th century, but was eventually replaced by the smaller brougham and other coupé carriages.

The origin of the word is obscured because chariot and the similar words char, chair, chare, charet, and charette, were liberally used interchangeably to indicate many two- and four-wheeled vehicles.
