Touring car

The term "all-weather tourer" was used to describe convertibles (vehicles that could be fully enclosed).

The touring car body style was popular in the early 20th century, being a larger alternative to the two-seat runabout and the roadster.

[7] The belt lines of 1930s tourers were often lowered at the front doors to suggest a more sporting character[8] (however, this only allowed for removable glass or Perspex/Plexiglas side screens; wind-up windows, introduced later, required a more horizonal belt line on the doors).

Just as in the U.S, all-weather tourers are cars with high quality tops and glass side windows;[9] they were later called convertibles.

[11] The design consists of a hood/bonnet line raised to be level with the car's waistline, resulting in a straight beltline from front to back.
