Roi-des-Belges
Roi-des-Belges ("King of the Belgians") or tulip phaeton was a car body style used on luxury motor vehicles in the early 1900s. It was a double phaeton with exaggerated bulges "suggestive of a tulip". The rear bulges accommodated two corner seats like tub armchairs which were accessed from the rear by a central door with a small fold-down seat. The Roi-des-Belges style began with a 1901 40 hp Panhard et Levassor with a Rothschild body commissioned by Leopold II of Belgium, Roi des Belges. The style and the name Roi-des-Belges were used on many makes of the time, including Mototri Contal, Packard, Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, Spyker, and Renault and by other coachwork builders.
