coupéArticle Free Pass coupé, also spelled Coupe, four-wheeled,
horse-drawn carriage that was based on the coach but was smaller
and lighter in weight. While originally the word coupé described
any cut-down coach body, it later became associated with a
specific type of truncated coach body that came into general use
in western Europe and America in the mid-18th century. A coupé
usually contained one enclosed seat for two passengers and a
higher, outside seat for a driver, although the largest model,
the clarence, had two enclosed seats and accommodated four
passengers. In the 20th century the name was given to the
closed, two-door, two-passenger automobile. What made you want
