Review written on 8/1964.

It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Durack believes their Pennsylvania may be the best Touring to enter the market. How does it compare other Touring such as the Pennsylvania XT and 322? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!


On first glance the Durack Pennsylvania seems to have everything you'd want in a daily driver on the track. It is not overly powerful, but it packs enough punch to get up and go. While you won't win any races, you won't hold up any traffic. The Touring's 75 hp @ 2169RPMs 2162 cc I4 engine does well enough under load to keep you satisfied. The Pennsylvania is able to top out at 92 mph and accelerates at 25.243s 0 to 60 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 147 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! Ultimately the Durack Pennsylvania is your average Touring on the track. The Durack Pennsylvania handles smoothly and can really turn a corner for a Touring. While it is certainly not a race car, it can handle any real world situation you throw at it.


The interior of the Durack Pennsylvania is nothing short of amazing. It is beyond words to say how perfect this vehicle is. Only the finest materials in the greatest possible workmanship ever seen in this type of vehicle grace the Pennsylvania interior. I can not do anything but recommend the Pennsylvania for everyone. Durack really outdid themselves.

Inside the Durack Pennsylvania it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 28 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space ensures that you always have plenty of room to do whatever it is you need to do. And that makes us happy.

Serious effort goes into every Durack Pennsylvania 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 Durack in their efforts when it comes to the production of this vehicle.


It is a rare occurrence to see the Durack Pennsylvania in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Durack knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

We wouldn't call the Durack Pennsylvania a truly 'green' vehicle, but it does get a very good 34.6 mpg city and which will leave your wallet full of greens, and that's good enough for us.

While the Durack Pennsylvania is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.


I was happy with the time I spent in the Durack Pennsylvania. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Touring you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Pennsylvania but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
