Yes, and I believe it was rather common for these "voitures de maître" with chauffeur, though they were cabriolet. For instance, this Delage : /vehicle_679603-Delage-D6-1936.html |

The vehicle, driving on the right, pulled in at the kerb and the chauffeur alighted to open the door for his master without having to step into the road. Safer for the chauffeur and quicker for His Lordship to get out of the limousine. |

johnfromstaffs... Very interesting. Makes perfect sense! Love the word "alighted". Ah, you British, you DO speak a different language than the Americans. Delightful! The Free Dictionary - to alight: to get down, as from a vehicle; dismount: "The queen alighted from the carriage". -- Last edit: 2014-07-29 06:43:24 |

After this philological intermission, let's turn back to our program. The car is registred in 1936. |
