I remember seeing that years ago at the Phoenix Auto Show. It was glorious! I believe it had suicide doors as well.

idk if that’s the right term either. Landaulet by definition refers to the rear portion opening up.

Correct term is apparently
sedanca.
Or when not describing a Cadillac,
Coupe de Ville.

Phaeton has a non-permanent roof structure. So, a convertible that has a free-standing convertible roof that’s attached to the bodywork but almost more like an open-backed tent in most cases, with little of the integration of a normal convertible top. See: Jeepster or canvas top on Mini Moke.

Alternately,
Town Brougham
, as sedanca sometimes has marketing connotations involving more than a simple rear roof/front open.

I saw a 300
SRT8 on Craigslist with suicide lambo doors. It was incredible.

Yep, it definitely has suicide rear doors, just look at the door handles.

Town car also works. Actually, I believe town car is just the literal translation of sedanca de ville.

Of course, i t’s hard because terms were used inconsistently and then got dragged out as model names decades after...
