Review written on 6/1929.

Competition in the Station Wagon segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Washington. Is this Station Wagon enough to unseat the everyone else or will it be worse than the Valley Forge. Don't worry! We have the answers.


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Washington. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Station Wagon I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 82 hp @ 2738RPMs 4121 cc Flat4 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 82 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 27.893s 0 to 60 mph! If that wasn't enough with the 126 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! Do you remember those tea cup rides as a kid? Well the Philadelphia Motors Washington is like that, but faster. Literally this Station Wagon can turn on a dime. She's that good. There was nothing we could throw at it to slow it down. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


Nothing says 'You've Made It' better than owning the Philadelphia Motors Washington. It is a palace on wheels. Comfortable seats, firm leather, and lovely carpeting will make you feel like the King or Queen of the road.

Amazingly spacey the Philadelphia Motors Washington can bost 46 cu-ft interior and cargo space. This vehicle is massive compared to most. It's one of our top choices when it comes to practicality.

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Washington produced. The build quality of these vehicles is amazing! We could not find a single flaw in its construction while we were testing it. Everything fits properly, nothing is misaligned or misplaced. All of us here at GCM commend Philadelphia Motors in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.


The Philadelphia Motors Washington was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

Out on civilian streets you'll never be thought of as a eco-maniac while driving your Philadelphia Motors Washington. With its sub-par 13.1 mpg the Washington will hit your wallet hard. Don't worry, the gas station clerk is a nice guy!

While talking with engineers at Philadelphia Motors we found out that the Washington was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.


When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Washington is one of the best Station Wagon on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Station Wagon, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Washington. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
