Surrey (carriage)

A surrey is a doorless, four-wheeled carriage popular in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Usually two-seated and able to hold four passengers, surreys had a variety of tops that included a rigid, fringed canopy, parasol, and extension.

Before the advent of automobiles, these were horse-drawn carriages.

The name is short for "Surrey cart", named after Surrey in England, where they were first made.

[2] The American surrey was famously celebrated in the song "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from the musical Oklahoma!.
