Review written on 3/1940.
The press around the Philadelphia Motors Washington may look more appealing than the everyone else. But is it really a better Station Wagon? As long as it's not as bad as the 3445 Rhadam, Philadelphia Motors should be happy with their results. We luckily have a test model to figure out where this vehicle stands in the market. And if it lives up to what the advertisements are saying about it.

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 101 hp @ 3100RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 86 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 24.747s 0 to 60 mph! If that wasn't enough with the 138 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Washington is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Station Wagon would not be able to keep up with the Washington on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. 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.

The Philadelphia Motors Washington is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 48 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Washington seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

The Philadelphia Motors Washington did very well on our dependability tests. We did not have any major issues in long term testing. The minor issues we did have were easy to resolve and not very costly. We believe that the Philadelphia Motors Washington is dependable enough for even the most unknowledgeable owner. It proper care and maintenance, even if done by a shop, the Philadelphia Motors Washington should last a very long time.

The Philadelphia Motors Washington's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Washington's 14.3 mpg is one of the worst in class. This might not be troublesome when you look at the numbers, but it will be when you actually have to pay for it.

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 you drive the Philadelphia Motors Washington you'll see other Station Wagon on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
