The 1940 Business car catalog was all fluff - no discussion of differences between it and the standard limos or executive sedans. But the 1937 Business car catalog did have some details; wider rear axle tread and different rear fender wheel housings to allow wider seats, more utilitarian upholstery, full-width jump seats that meet in the center for 3-person seating, etc. The 1937 Business Sedan and Limo are advertised for 8-passenger seating, the standard limo and LWB sedan are for 7-passenger seating.

They are also differentiated from the standard limo and lwb sedan by the addition of a suffix letter ("B") after the body type portion of the vehicle number. For example"

1014-XXXX = 7 passenger sedan
1014B-XXXX = 8 passenger Business sedan

1015-XXXX = 7 passenger limo
1015B-XXXX = 8 passenger Business Limo
