IT is 100% wood (except nails and 4 hinges)
Thanks in advance!
Happy Days!

Re: Carriage or car body?
In that era, they were pretty much interchangeable. The early autos had carriage bodies with pedals and shifters and steering wheels or tillers added. Looks like it was always a carriage body so far, but would make a beautiful thing to assemble a horseless carriage around.

It sure looks like a tulip body Cadillac. Point well taken about buggies having the same coach work. The cutout in the floorboard looks to be for steering column.
Sure is pretty!

Re: Carriage or car body?
Could it be an early sleigh?
No steel only nails and hinges!
Thanks!

Re: Carriage or car body?
I'm going to stick with my first impression which was a sleigh. That Caddie ad gave me a turn but no.
Forget everything you thought you knew.

Re: Carriage or car body?
Yes it could be a sleigh body. It was not uncommon to use a body of that type on runners in winter, and on a carriage running gear in summer. Many similar bodies were used on automobile chassis in the "oughts" 1900-1906 especially. Lack of a horse-drawn type dash and the cut out in the toe board suggest an auto to me.
