The Russian ambulance given to France by the Czarina



Wow, this makes a clear indication of just how a car at this point was still built by horse carriage designers.

Found on https://www.facebook.com/isabelle.bracquemond.7?fref=nf

this wasn't the only car that looked like it had a stage coach body on a car cab, there was also the Hispano Suiza "Peter's Folly" http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2008/04/very-odd-way-to-treat-hispano-suiza.html

and the Thrupp and Maberly 1913 electric for the queen http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/02/bridging-eras-of-horse-drawn-carriages.html
