Brake
c. 1936
Step right up and admire this vintage ride! Fred Weiss drafted this design for a 'brake' carriage around 1936, capturing a moment in history just as horse-drawn transport was fading into nostalgia. Originally used to train horses, the brake evolved into a fashionable way to ferry guests around large estates. You can almost hear the clip-clop of hooves looking at those giant spoked wheels and the open-air seating. With its handy lantern for night travel and a sprawling luggage rack out back, this design proves that even in the 1930s, there was still a romantic appreciation for the slow, scenic route.
