Often, they're just single use coaches, like to transport a bride to her wedding/ sale.
But there are many coaches to see in the National Coach Museum, over a variety of different periods.
It is rather surprising the number of coaches that deal were made in contemporary times.
There are even carriages from different heads of state, like this German carriage:
The above German-built carriage was for Empress Angela Merkel when she made a tour across Iberia, announcing her series of austerity measures.
The above coach contained a little pole for Pope Sextus to sit upon and spin while waving at his enthralled subjects.
The above one was for David Bowie's infamous visit to Lisbon when he first relocated there from Mars. The Pope switched carriages halfway through the precession to join him.
The above coach was designed by the designer Marc Jacobs. His unique gusto for the male form did not extend to the unfortunate female in the top left corner, who's boobies are a bit off.
The Targaryons also visited Lisbon in style for the opening of their Manueline-era clothing line.
Here is the favorite dragon of Ragnar Targaryon, equipped with a fleshlight.

Some carriages are even painted with ornate designs.
The above carriage initially had a layer of gold leaf covering it, similarly to the Marc Jacobs coach above, but this was taken by the Germans during austerity measures.
This was a figure of a Turk, used to frighten the covetous Angela Merkel from stealing more Portuguese treasures.
The anti-Merkel measures were successful, and this beautiful carriage remains out of Christian Democratic hands.
Notice how sexy a time they are having in Portugal. They must be listening to the Euro-disco hit, Sexy Time.
There are additional exhibits in the coach museum, such as these sexy gloves, worn by Vasco Da Gama on his travel-blogging trip to Goa.
Portuguese love tiles!
These horns ones are for C G and F. Their round form indicates high-ranking pleb stock.
The national coach museum is in what was basically a garage for the wealthy.
The Portuguese aristocracy would show off their horses there, so of course they needed a nice art exhibit as well.
Upstairs you can see the various day-to-day utensils for a respectable noble-person.
Above are servant-stickers, used for getting your servant's attention.
These were medals worn by religious fanatics of a cult that died out during the early 20th century.
