The Continental Town Car. For the individual that hated his butler.

I never understood that idea of not letting your driver have a solid roof. Is it meant to be a display of callousness that often accompanies wealth?

If Dr. Nefarious was from the 1940s.

I don’t know the answer, but at a guess, I’d say to let Sir close himself off from the world while notionally allowing the driver to remain aware, see out, make contact with people on Sir’s behalf, and generally be seen to be driving Sir. Much less “ha ha I shit on my driver”, much more “Shit on you guys, I have a DRIVER”.

Remember, related to that, with cars all the way up to the late teens and early twenties, driver ability to hear things, see things, smell things, and yell things was absolutely at a premium. Knotty backcountry roads with farm animals, other rattletraps approaching...

I am not sure wealth equates to callousness anymore but yes back in the day it was traditional to remind your subordinate that they were lesser individuals than yourself. Ergo make them withstand the harsh wealthier.

Although it likely stems from the tradition of coachs that have been used for centuries with horse drawn carriages.

I may be wrong but it may lead back to old times of horse carriages. Maybe the drivers were honored to give out rides or something like that.

I was thinking something similar. I am sure it has someone to do with horse carriages. Tradition is hard to break
