Ford Custom

The Ford Custom is a caur model name that haes been usied bi the Ford Motor Company baith in the Unitit States an Canadae frae the 1930s tae 1972.

For the 1949 model year, the Custom nameplate wis uised for the tap trim level in Ford's range o automobiles. For 1950 the name wis changed tae Custom Deluxe an then tae Customline for 1952 when it moved tae the midrange poseetion atween the new Mainline an Crestline models.

The Custom name returned for the 1957 model year alang wi a new Custom 300 series, thir twa models sitting belaw the Fairlane an Fairlane 500. The Custom 300 became the base model for 1958, but wis dropped frae the range for 1960. The Custom name reappeared again for 1964 an the Custom 500 nameplate made its debut the same year. While the Custom 500 wis a slicht step up, the Custom wis again the stripped, no-frills trim level o the full-sized Fords. Maist Customs wur sauld tae police an taxi fleets durin the 1960s, awtho anyane who wanted basic, no-frills transportation wi the convenience o a full-sized caur coud purchase ane.
