Each of the 58 vehicles listed here is wheeled and non-motorized - a carriage, chariot, cart, buggy or similar thing. In general, this means that they will be horse-drawn (or donkey-drawn, or ... well, you get the picture). A number of these terms are foreign and thus I have adopted English orthography where appropriate.
