Touring car - online puzzles

A touring car is an open car seating four or more. A popular car body style in the early twentieth century, it declined in popularity in the 1920s when closed bodies became less expensive and more practical.

A tourer, in the UK and the Commonwealth, is a similar vehicle ; however, the term is sometimes used to describe pre- war two-seaters which, in US terminology, would be roadsters. The term "all- weather tourer" was used to describe open vehicles that could be fully enclosed.

A popular version of the touring car style was the torpedo, with the hood/bonnet line at the car 's waistline giving the car a straight line from front to back. This eventually became the normal version of the touring car, and the term "torpedo" fell out of use, having been replaced by the hardtop.
