"Carriages, Not Machines"

As a History Geek I've always loved the period of time it takes for language and style to catch up to a new invention. Example: when early automobiles came along, they weren't necessarily viewed as something brand new, but as upgraded carriages. The Woods Company made electric/hybrid vehicles from 1899-1916 and they looked so much like carriages they were even named after them.

Behold the "Brougham" style from 1903 with a driver that looks like he's just waiting for his horses:
