- Phaeton automobiles were initially very similar in appearance to the light, fast, four-wheeled horse-drawn phaeton carriages from which they derived their name. Key characteristics were at least one transverse (side-by-side) seat and two axles. "Double" and "triple" designations were used to refer to larger phaeton bodies with respectively two or three "rows" of transverse seats. After 1912, American use of the term began to be most closely associated with the "triple phaeton" body configurations that had room for three ("rows" of) seats whether or not all three were installed. Common usage further evolved to refer to a car body style, similar to a sedan or convertible sedan, where the rear seat area was extended for added leg room or for an additional row of seating. This often gave the vehicle the appearance that it was meant to be chauffeur-operated. This body type was popular up to the early years of World War II. During the early automotive years, though most were of the extended passenger seat area (1925 Studebaker Phaeton, 1941 Buick Roadmaster 4-door Phaeton) or additional row seating variety, other Phaetons had custom body types. Some models had a driver's row with no roof and a passengers' row with a fixed roof (1930 Duesenberg J Murphy Town Car), while other models had their driver's and passengers' rows separated by a cowl and sometimes a folding windshield (1931 Cadillac V-16 dual cowl Phaeton). During the late 1930s, Cord built 2-door convertible sedans with "Phaeton" included in the name (1937 Cord 810 Phaeton). However, this may have been a marketing embellishment and not an indication to the type of body. Modern phaetons lack the second row cowl or the cabin dividing wall. Though most manufacturers do not really use the word phaeton when marketing these vehicles, the sedan-like body with extended rear seat area continues in model line-ups of many luxury marques (Jaguar XJ Vanden Plas, Maybach 57 and 62). In 2004, Volkswagen introduced their flagship vehicle which donned the name Phaeton, and boasted an enormous cabin, both front and rear, which was major competition to the similar bodied BMW 750 and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. The VW Phaeton was pulled from the U.S. market in 2006 due to poor sales.
- Der Phaeton war seit der Erfindung des Automobils eine weit verbreitete Karosserieform für Luxusfahrzeuge. Der Name „Phaeton“, der von einer Gestalt der griechischen Sagenwelt stammt, ging von der Kutsche auf die ersten Automobile oder „Motorkutschen“ über. Gottlieb Daimlers erster Motorwagen 1886 war ein motorisierter Phaeton Americaine, der vom Stuttgarter Kutschenbauer Wimpff & Sohn zugeliefert wurde. Automobile mit Phaeton-Karosserien gehörten als Zwei- oder als Viersitzer zur Angebotspalette nahezu aller Hersteller: Ford, Opel, Daimler, Benz, Peugeot, Horch, Laurin & Klement, Porsche, Cadillac u. a. Der Boom der Automobile im Phaeton-Design erreichte kurz vor dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges seinen Zenit. Es handelte sich um offene Tourenwagen mit zwei oder vier Türen, der vier bis sechs Passagieren Platz bot. Eine Spezialform war der Triple-Phaeton, der neben Fahrer und Beifahrer noch sechs weitere Personen aufnehmen konnte. Zum Schutz der Insassen verfügte der Phaeton über ein einfaches Klappverdeck, das sogenannte amerikanische Verdeck.
- Con il termine phaeton, mutuato dal mito greco di Fetonte, si intende un tipo di carrozzeria utilizzata spesso nelle vetture d'inizio Novecento. Originariamente destinato alle carrozze aperte a quattro ruote e due cavalli, questo nome, caduto in disuso poco dopo la seconda guerra mondiale, con la nascita dell'automobile, venne utilizzato per indicare un tipo di carrozzeria aperta in uso nel primo ventennio del Novecento. In particolare si trattava di una carrozzeria scoperta a due o a quattro porte, nella quale potevano trovare posto rispettivamente una o due file di due posti l'una. In quest'ultimo caso, la fila di posti posteriore era più distanziata del normale dalla fila di posti anteriore e questo per lasciare molto spazio a disposizione delle gambe dei passeggeri posteriori. A seconda dell'una o dell'altra configurazione, comunque, si poteva parlare di single phaeton o di double phaeton, ma esistevano anche alcuni modelli carrozzati come triple phaeton. In seguito, a partire dai primi anni '10, con la diffusione delle torpedo, si cominciò a creare un po' di confusione tra i due tipi di carrozzeria, a tal punto che alcuni Paesi utilizzavano il termine phaeton ed altri il termine torpedo. Ma tra i due termini comunque esisteva anche qualche differenza, e non indicavano esattamente lo stesso tipo di carrozzeria.
- Dual cowl lub phaeton - typ nadwozia, w którym jest przegroda dzieląca kabinę na dwie części: dla szofera (z przodu) i dla pasażerów (z tyłu). Bardzo popularne w luksusowych limuzynach w latach 30. , 40. i 50. , ale spotykane także w dzisiejszych czasach.
- Фаэтон (от имени мифологического Фаэтона) — открытый кузов легкового автомобиля с мягким открывающимся верхом. Значение термина со временем существенно эволюционировало, к тому же, следует иметь в виду весьма существенные различия между национальными терминологиями и наличие так называемых фирменных обозначений, зачастую конфликтовавших с общепринятыми. Но наиболее распространённым этот термин был в довоенные годы, обозначая открытый автомобиль с четырьмя боковыми дверьми без подъёмных стёкол — обычно в непогоду вместо них к боковине пристёгивалась на кнопках брезентовая шторка со встроенными окошками, как правило, из целлулоида, и складным мягким верхом. Аналогичный двухдверный кузов именовался родстер. Изначально так назывался лёгкий открытый конный экипаж, от которого название перешло на автомобиль, позднее приобретя самостоятельное значение.
