Surrey (carriage)

A surrey is a four-wheel, two-seated pleasure carriage with an open spindle seat. It resembles a cabriolet but has a straight or nearly straight bottom, sometimes cut under. Originally English, it was introduced into the United States in 1872. The term is also used for various types of quadricycle, and an early motor vehicle resembling a surrey in design. The name comes from Surrey, the county in southern England where it was first built.
