The Ford 300 is an American automobile that Ford manufactured exclusively for the 1963 model year. It served as the foundational trim level of the full size 1963 Ford lineup, below the Galaxie, Galaxie 500 and Galaxie 500XL, and was comparable in trim level to the Chevrolet Biscayne, with minimal chrome and no luxury features. A base price more than 100 dollars below comparable Galaxie models made it popular in police and taxi fleets, and private buyers liked its affordability and the space of a full size car. It carried a Ford 300 badge on each front fender and offered only two or four door pillared sedans. Big block FE series V8 engines were available, including the 427 cubic inch engine delivering up to 425 horsepower, and with a manual transmission the light cars were used in drag racing. In 1964 the Ford 300 was succeeded by the Custom series.
