50 years ago many smaller-mid size towns had a local Ford or Chevy dealership. I bet it was ordered as a dealer demo for promotion. I never thought that they were special ordered though. It's a pretty interesting backstory.

You could usually go to a dealership at the end of a model year and get a special deal on their demo vehicles.
