    i just bought a '54 ford mainline sedan, i guess, as it doesn't have papers and was curious as to what body it is. i haven't got it home so no pics yet. it has the small 1/4 window though. from what i have came across, that would make it a business coupe at least, right? what is the difference between a mainline and a customline? when i was 16 i had a '53 mainline, but that was 52 years ago and don't remember much about the details anymore. thanks for any help.
    ps. i don't care about the papers as this will be a drag car only.

    The Mainline is the less expensive model & has less chrome then the Customline.
    No Chrome around windshield or back window. Less Chrome along the sides.
    That kind of thing. Enjoy your new Ride!
