A Phaeton is a car body style, similar to a sedan or convertible sedan, where the rear seat area is extended for added leg room or for an additional row of seating. This gives the vehicle the appearance that it is meant to be chaffuer-operated. This body type was popular up to the early years of World War II.
Though most were of the extended passenger seat area (1925 Studebaker Phaeton, 1941 Buick Roadmaster 4-door Phaeton) or additional row seating variety, others had custom body types. Some models had a driver's row with no roof with a passengers' row with a fixed roof (1930 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Car). While other models had their driver's and passengers' rows separated by a cowl and sometimes a folding windshield (1931 Cadillac V-16 dual cowl Phaeton).
