Chevrolet had for years got extra mileage out of their Sports Coupe (sometimes called a club coupe) by offering it as a stripped down model without a back seat. (see second image below)
Traveling salesmen purchased 21,000 of these Styleline Special Business Coupes at a cost of $1329.00 each. This was Chevrolet's lowest priced car. It's highest price car was the
1950 Chevrolet Station Wagon at almost $2000.00.
Model Number of a 1950 Chevrolet Styleline Special Business Coupe was 1504. Body style number was 50-1227B.

One more thing to note, apparently the salesman's sample cases did not need fresh air. The 1950 Chevrolet Business Coupe did not have rear side widows that could be opened like the 1950 Chevy Deluxe and 1950 Chevy Special.
