Biscaynes were primarily targeted to the fleet market, although they were also available to the general public - particularly those who wanted low-cost, no-frills transportation with the convenience and room of a full-sized automobile. While most were sold with a six-cylinder engine through the late 1960s, nearly all Biscaynes sold in the early 1970s had a V-8 engine, and automatic transmission; power steering was made standard in 1971.

Biscayne Fleetmaster

In 1960, a lower-priced, super-stripped version of the Biscayne - called the Biscayne Fleetmaster - was produced. Targeted primarily for the fleet market, the Biscayne Fleetmaster included a lower grade of upholstery than the standard Fleetmaster, plus deleted routine convenience items such as a cigarette lighter, door armrests and passenger-side sun visor; several chrome-plated accessories were even painted rather than chrome-plated.

Both two-door and four-door sedans were available.

A number of economy-minded options were available exclusive to the Biscayne Fleetmaster model, although the performance-minded engines and transmissions were also available (for police applications or customers who absolutely wanted the lightest car possible). The Fleetmaster was never popular, and was dropped after 1961.
