Later, as motorcars became popular, coachbuilders switched from building carriages to converting/building cars for that purpose. But the name stayed the same.
Generally, it was a specialized version of a station wagon/estate, which was a carriage used for carrying baggage from railway station to the estate (thus the name
).

Oh, I know lots of good-looking shooting brakes. Or even more.
It's not denial. I'm just very selective about the reality I accept.
