Invented by Henry Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham And Vaux , Lord Chancellor Of Great Britain , a brougham was a four-wheeled horse-drawn Carriage of the 1800s . It had a low body with a box seat in front for the driver. In the rear was seating for two or four with two doors. In the 1930s , a brougham was a car with an open seat in front for the chauffeur and an enclosed cabin behind for the passengers. Cadillac used the name on their Cadillac Brougham in 1916 , and it would later be used on their top models throughout the 20th century. Over the years, Chevrolet , Pontiac and Plymouth have also used the Brougham name to differentiate the more comfortably-appointed versions of a given model; Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham, Pontiac Parisienne Brougham and Plymouth Valiant Brougham have all been produced. Ford used the Brougham name on its 1970s-era LTD line and some later models of vans. |
