Brougham


The term "Brougham" has been used by every single American car manufacturer as well as a few foreign ones to designate a car model or trim package with richly appointed features.  It refers to the elegant "Brougham" carriage popular in the 19th century.  That carriage was originally built to the specifications of and named for Lord Henry Peter Brougham, 1st Baron Brougham and Vaux, a British statesman who became Lord Chancellor of Great Britain.  Brother Brougham was a member of Canongate Kilwinning Lodge 2 of Edinburgh Scotland.
