Prior to cars with an upper level for observing passing scenery, early observation cars had only an open rear platform that could accomodate only a few people at a time. They were also the favorite type of transportation for politicians on the campaign trail since they could deliver their speeches from the open platform while elevated above the level of the crowds.
