Volante (volanta in Spanish) is a two-wheeled open carriage with a retractable hood that was popular in Cuba in the mid-1800s.
The vehicle was directed by a postilion rider.
The large wheels are positioned behind the seat and are over 6 feet in diameter with an 8.5 inch hub.
Most of the volantes were imported to Cuba from England, France, or the United States.
