I added the redlink to the automobile body style based on Ford's use of the term for the '54 Vicky (& Ford were not alone, nor was '54 the first year). TREKphiler hit me ♠ 17:24, 20 July 2008 (UTC)
This article seems to be being used as a coatrack for other concerns.
[edit]Victorias are four-wheeled carriages, often drawn by a pair. Showing a picture of an ekka or tanga to tie it in with animal abuse concerns is not appropriate, although mentioning different or looser usage in Indian English might be.
(I don't think this is the case so much as it is journalistic imprecision.) Anmccaff (talk) 14:56, 27 April 2015 (UTC)
Etymology
[edit]Do we have any information on the etymology of the name of it? Jjjjjjdddddd (talk) 23:20, 20 April 2018 (UTC)
- Try Berkebile and if it does not work for you the French (because its name milord had fallen in status) (too many taxis) re-named it before 1845 in honour of Queen Victoria and 25 years later, from 1869, the style became popular (with the name victoria) in Britain and USA.
