Most Custom 300 Business Sedans were sold as commercial vehicles to commercial fleets and are not found in private customers sales litterature, the 300 Business Coupe was also advertised to private customers in 1959 catalogues.The more upscale 1959 Tudor and Fordor Custom 300's had the four forward pointing arrows on the rear fenders and were often two-tone colored.
