Review written on 1/1951.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the Zenith. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Town Car like the everyone else. So where does the Zenith stand in the Town Car segment? After spending a few days with the Zenith. We have made our judgment.

It has been a long time since I've driven a Town Car that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Zenith would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Zenith did great! The 129 hp @ 3738RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Town Car the Zenith does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Zenith up to 88 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 23.229s 0 to 60 mph. With 146 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. While Philadelphia Motors Zenith will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. The handling characteristics of the Philadelphia Motors Zenith is borderline acceptable for a Town Car. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine.

Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Zenith. The Zenith has all the features you expect and more. The materials are soft, and the quality is good. Equally impressive was the comfortability of the seats. Philadelphia Motors did a great job.

The Philadelphia Motors Zenith is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 49 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

Philadelphia Motors really cut corners when making the Zenith. You can tell in our test model. Only a few days old and parts are already starting to wear. But you get what you pay for. And if you buy gaps in paneling, leaky doors, and crackling speakers, well you're going to get gaps, leaks, and crackling. And the Philadelphia Motors Zenith has all three in abundance.

The Philadelphia Motors Zenith is a reliable car that we would trust our dear old grandmother with. These things are almost bulletproof.

The Philadelphia Motors Zenith's fuel economy is impressive, but not in a good way. The Zenith's 16.2 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.

If safety was your priority, then this isn't the best on the market. That being said it's better than a lot of vehicles as well. The folks at Philadelphia Motors didn't make safety their focus, but there are enough features here to keep most people's minds at ease. And that's pretty much the jest of the thing. The Philadelphia Motors Zenith is average in all respects.

When it comes to Town Car there should be only one vehicle to think of. Have you thought of it? Did you read this article? It's the Philadelphia Motors Zenith the best Town Car I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
