Review written on 8/1964.
Everyone always says the Zenith is the greatest Town Car made. But you always go against the grain. What about a 9088? OK stop laughing. Yes we all know the doors fall off when you open them. So what's the solution to setting the newest trend? Ever thought about a Philadelphia Motors? This month we take a look at the new Zenith. Is this the Town Car you've been looking for? Find out!

We brought the Philadelphia Motors Zenith out to the track expecting the worst. And boy were we surprised. While the Zenith isn't the fastest Town Car, it is certainly as good as most Town Car out on the market today. We thought the 175 hp @ 4618RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine was a good fit for this model. We were able to top out at 96 mph and on the strip we did a 19.440s 0 to 60 mph. With 160 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! While impressed the Zenith isn't perfect on the track. But it's still good enough for most people. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors 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.

The strongest selling point of the Philadelphia Motors Zenith is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Zenith is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Zenith.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Zenith it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 49 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 Philadelphia Motors Zenith 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 Zenith is easily one of the most dependable vehicles ever made, it is excellently designed, excellently produced. And with just a little TLC will last forever and a decade.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Zenith out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Zenith's ghastly 18.4 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

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!
