Surrey (Carriage) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! A surrey is a horse-drawn, four-wheeled, two-seated pleasure carriage with an open spindle seat. The name comes from Surrey, the county in southern England where it was first built. 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 quadracycle, and an early motor vehicle resembling a surrey in design. It was famously celebrated in the song "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" from the musical Oklahoma!.
