Closed carriage derived from a shortened berline, from which it takes its name (from the French couper, to cut). It had a cabin for two passengers on a single bench, with a fixed glass window at the front, and the coachman rode outside, in front. It was considered ideal for ladies to go shopping and pay social visits.
