cabriolet
Wikipedia
A cabriolet was a light, two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage with a folding ‘calash’ top, seating two persons behind the driver’s box. Developed in France in the early 19th century, the vehicle quickly replaced the heavier hackney carriage as the vehicle for hire of choice in Paris and London. The modern term (taxi)cab comes from “cabriolet” via “Hansom cab”.
Merriam-Webster
A light 2-wheeled one-horse carriage with a folding leather hood, a large apron, and upward-curving shafts.
