I know that there was a 1940 Business Coupe (with jump seats), which is called by some -- but not Ford-- an "Opera Coupe."
It seems that some folks call any 5 window 3-passenger coupe a "Business Coupe".
Besides 1940, what years did Ford have an actual Business Coupe?
Thanks

There is a 1928 - 29 Model A that Ford called a Business Coupe. It has a non-folding cloth top. After February 29, it has oval quarter windows - before that, the quarters are blind.
AFAIK, there are no Business Coupes 32 - 39. I think there are some post-WWII but I'm not well-versed on pre-28 or post-40. I always thought it odd that the 40 with auxiliary seats (the official Ford term) is the Business Coupe while without the seats it's just Coupe. Seems to me cargo space would be more useful than passenger space in a car used for business.
