I've encountered a number of F&SO cars. Since this car is a Biscayne, it could likely have originally been a police or taxi. One would have to look for telltales of the chassis package, such as HD ball joints, metallic brakes, etc OR the Body package, such as thick foam padded seat, padded sunvisors. two MPH increment speedometer, etc.
It's also possible it was just part of a fleet order to be used as a salesman's car, or delivery car. Somewhere within the Fleet department's files there should be a record of what order number 4510A consisted of, but those records haven't seen the light of day yet. The only thing I can tell from this tag is that the car was probably delivered with a 3-spd trans.

PS The car was also originally Abobe Beige with a Fawn interior. Fawn interiors were typical of police cars. (but could be ordered on any Biscayne sedan.
