С днём рождения!
Миша, поздравляю с.
Ниже - подарок. Ничего что много? Хотел прислать что-то одно, но затруднился в выборе.
Так что шлю в подарок весь парк - он ваш.

A coach was a generic term for a four-wheel vehicle with at least 2 seats capable of holding six people inside (at a pinch).
A barouche held four inside and two on top, plus a coachman, of coarse, and a groom if there was one.
A landau was like a standard coach but with the body open.
A demilandau, or landaulet opened only from the front, the hood folding down at the back.
A barouche-landau was a grand vehicle - the reason Mrs Elton in Emma boasted about her sister's - hung high on C-springs, with a double folding hood which enabled it to be completely closed in rain.
A sociable was low hung, with two seats facing each other, the gentleman sitting in front with his back to the driver, the lady facing, covered by its half-hood.
A berline was old-fashioned by 1815 and characterized by an extra back seat covered by a hood.
A chariot was a half-enclosed three-seater and a postchariot carried two, though often with a rumble for two servants behind.
A chaise, also holding three, was the commonest family carriage, the post chaise being a faster version carrying two.
Phaetons and gigs were two-wheelers, beloved by young men, though the smarter ones had curricles.
Other types I have noted in letters and diaries of the day include cabriolet, stanhope, brougham (this only came in about 1830), dioropha, amamphton, clarence, britzka, pilentum and whiskey.
