Review written on 8/1964.
The Town Car segment is not for everyone. But the Zenith may be the vehicle for you. Durack sure hopes it is. So this week I took a trip down to Durack's headquarters to test out the Zenith. Luckily we've also tested the everyone else and the 9088 this year. So we should be able to give you a verdict on how it stands in the Town Car community.

As always our first test is the track. Right off the bat I knew that the Durack Zenith was not going to be a show stopper. The vehicle is sluggish, specially for a Town Car. However it does what it has to. Get you from point A to point B. And while getting there quickly isn't a priority, with all the traffic these days, could you really enjoy anything faster? The 121 hp @ 1923RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine does struggle, but there is enough there to do the job. The Zenith tops out at 86 mph and can accelerate in 22.751s 0 to 60 mph. So while not fantastic, enough for a daily driver. If that wasn't enough with the 266 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 753 lbs! On the track testing the Durack Zenith did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Town Car it should have better handling than it does. In most cases in the real world this shouldn't be any problem. But it is still sub-par at best.

Durack's interior design stands out among its peers. The material selection is fantastic, each seat is crafted by fine artisans, and the ride quality outstanding. Zenith is also full of features other drivers can only dream about. You will not want to leave the inside of this vehicle.

The Durack 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...

The workmanship put into the Durack Zenith is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Zenith is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Durack has perfected the perfect.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Durack Zenith is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

At 21.1 mpg, the Durack Zenith isn't exactly an economic vehicle. It won't break your bank when fuel prices are low, but when fuel prices are normal or even high, it can be painful at the pump.

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 Durack 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 Durack 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 Durack Zenith the best Town Car I have ever driven! And the best one you've ever read about!
