Dave, (O_D), thanks for sweating over John's Berline. The marvelous -> coachbuilt.com defines:
"BERLINE - a closed sedan or luxury car, often with a small window which permitted the occupants to see but barely to be seen. Sometimes used to describe a four-passenger close coupled luxury 4dr sedan (usually of sporting design) with or without Imperial division. There is also some cases of use of the term Convertible Berline - see CONVERTIBLE SEDAN."
The German Wikipedia makes mention of deviating French, Spanish and Italian interpretations of the term.
