This article is about surrey carriages. For surrey bikes, see Quadracycle.
A surrey is a doorless, four-wheeled carriage popular in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Usually two-seated and holding for four passengers, surreys had a variety of tops that included a rigid, fringed canopy, parasol, and extension.[1] The seats were traditional, spindle-backed (often upholstered), bench seats. Before the advent of automobiles, these were horse-drawn carriages.
The name is short for "Surrey cart", named after Surrey in England, where they were first made.[2]
