| | Landau (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Some use the term 'Town Landau', and this generally means a wider rear pillar with no rear quarter windows, or a vinyl roof that only covers the rear seat area (and is thus reminiscent of a town car). |
 | | A landau, drawn by a pair or four-in-hand, is similar to a vis-à-vis, a social carriage with facing seats over a dropped footwell, which was perfected by mid-19th century as a swept base in a single flowing curve. |
 | | In the 1920s and 1930s, especially in the United States, the term 'landau' became used for a simulated convertible, in which a fixed roof of a sedan with solid rear quarters was covered with fabric or leather and fitted with side landau bars in order to appear like a convertible top. |
