Semi-convertible car

Semi-convertible cars were closed cars with cross-seats, and with entrance and exit platforms at the ends.

The windows were constructed so that both the upper and lower sashes of the side windows could be removed or raised in warm weather, making the car sides completely open between the window sills and the side plates.
