By contrast, a town car, coupé maître, or sedanca de ville has a division between driver and passengers, four doors, and 4-lights or two side windows on each side. The seat for the driver, and possibly a footman, are open or coverable with only a light folding roof. The open driving seat is all that distinguishes this type of car from a conventional limousine.

A targa top or surrey top is also similar to a coupe de ville. This has a removable panel over the front seats, while the back of the top is usually fixed, although in some cases it is removable or retractable. However, vehicles with targa tops usually have either no rear seat or marginal rear seats for temporary use.
