Not all buggies are the same. Each community decides: color, shape, size. Lancaster — gray. Ohio — black. Indiana — black with yellow.

Types

Enclosed (family buggy) — the standard. Roof, walls, doors. For the whole family (up to 8). Costs $5,000-8,000.

Open (courting buggy) — for young men. No roof. For dates (everything visible — community oversight).

Freight (spring wagon) — for hauling goods to market. Flat platform.

Winter (bobsled) — on runners. For snow.
