Coachwork

Coachwork

Coachwork is the body of a horse-drawn coach or carriage, a motor vehicle (automobile, bus or truck), a railroad car or railway carriage. Usually reserved for bodies built on a separate chassis, rather than being of unitary or monocoque construction. Another word is carrossery (plural: carosseries).
