Automobile, Ford, Custom

History: The Ford Custom is an automobile which was produced by Ford in the United States, Canada and Australia in certain years from 1949 to 1981.

There were three generations:
- Custom and Custom Deluxe (1949-1955)
For the 1949 model year, the Custom nameplate was used for the top trim level in Ford's range automobile. For 1950 the name was changed to Custom Deluxe and then to Customline for 1952 when it moved to the midrange position between the new Mainline and Crestline models.

- Custom and Custom 300 (1957-1959)
The Custom name returned for the 1957 model year along with a new Custom 300 series, these two models sitting below the Fairlane and Fairlane 500.

- Custom and Custom 500 (1964-1981)
The Custom nameplate reappeared in 1964, once again on the economy line of models. As in 1957-1958, the Custom range consisted of two series: a base Custom range and a slightly-better trimmed Custom 500 series.
