California car (streetcar)
A California car is a type of tram including both an enclosed seating compartment and a roofed seating area without sides. These cars were popular in California's mild Mediterranean climate[1] offering passengers a choice of shaded outdoor seating during hot weather, or more protected seating during cool or rainy weather.[2] California cars are operational on the San Francisco cable car system.[3]
