American car somewhere in France (5)
I believe the answer is:
sedan
'american car' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sedan that I've seen before include "Saloon car in America" , "In cars, an alternative name for 'saloon'" , "Covered chair carried between poles" , "Battle in 1940" , "Chair; car" .)
