Dodge does not build many cars like the Dodge 300: a Cab over, built from 1957 to 1965 at the height of the post-war boom.
The story
The Dodge 300 was a medium- to heavy-duty cab over truck built by Dodge's British arm at their Kew plant from 1957 until the mid-1960s. It was replaced by the Ghia-designed Dodge 500 which appeared in late 1964. Following the retirement of the 300, Dodge's Kew plant was shuttered as production was moved to Dunstable.
Under the skin
The record carries the shape — a Cab over. The engine, output and weight have not yet reached the open record, and MotorJury does not guess at them.
Its place in the line
Where it sits in Dodge's history is not in doubt: the Dodge 500 followed it; it was built at Kew, United Kingdom. On a showroom list of its day it stood against the Nissan Skyline, the Fiat 500, the Nissan Patrol. Nearby in the Dodge catalogue sit the Dodge 1500 and the 1955 Dodge.
The money
MotorJury scores cars on the United States complaint and recall record, and the Dodge 300 has none: too old, too rare, or never sold there. Its value today is a collector's question, decided by provenance and condition rather than by a class average.
