Amish buggys from Amish Stories1.Blogspot
Amish Stories blogspot has recipes, food stands, handcrafted art like painted horseshoes, and other Amish cultural stuff. It's posted by a non Amish guy (if you've no idea what Amish are, they are anti technology descedants of the Swiss and German immigrants of the 1690's to the Pennsylvania and Ohio area, they have a German accent, build everything by hand using no electrical tools, and they also won't join the military)
But the horse carriages and buggies are unique in America for all I know, as the Amish won't own, drive, or ride in cars. Maybe they have a historic date that they aren't allowed to pass in material technology, because they are very aware of the rest of the worlds technology, but they religiously adhere to the farming culture of their ancestors. Their carpentry is said to be superb.

2 samples of cigarette cards of the predesessor to the stage coach, and the passenger train
See a whole gallery of similar cig cards of early 1800's trains at http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm?num=140&word=Railroads&s=3¬word=&d=&c=&f=2&k=0&lWord=&lField=&sScope=&sLevel=&sLabel=&imgs=20&pNum=
pompous ridiculous waste of money carriages and coaches of kings, queens, emperors, empresses, etc. who should have been deposed for wasting fortunes of tax money from their countries
just a small sample from those found on http://digitalgallery.nypl.org/nypldigital/dgkeysearchresult.cfm?word=Carriages%20%26%20coaches&s=3¬word=&f=2

A variety of photos from a blog about Hollywood celebs of 1920-1960 and their mansions and homes
The movie set for the Hunchback of Notre Dame 1924
President Taft, 1909 tour of Los Angeles and Hollywood
it's a two door... not very commonly seen, and looks small
This horse and buggy were abandoned when the horse died. No one ever came back for the buggy, or to dispose of the horse carcass.... that is mighty strange
