An alternative or dialectal spelling of cabriolet, a type of light, two-wheeled carriage or automobile with a folding top.
From French cabriolet, itself from cabriole (a horse's leap), because these carriages were noted for their bouncy, springy ride. The variant spelling reflects different regional or historical pronunciations.
Early cabriolets got their name because they literally bounced and leapt along the road like a prancing horse—it's one of the few vehicle names that actually describes how it feels to ride in it!
