High Perch Phaeton at Carriage Trade in Second Life®

http://carriagetradeinsl.wordpress.com/ A Phaeton is a light four-wheeled carriage with open sides in front of the seat. It is an owner driven vehicle with no coachman's seat. The term was first applied to classify a carriage during that 18th and early 19th century period in France when it was fashionable to use classical pseudonyms. This style of Phaeton, the "High Perch" phaeton, cornered well for such a tall carriage, being well sprung, and was popular with sporting drivers, or those interested in fast driving. It is notorious in Regency romances as being the preferred form of transportation by the trend forward set.
