Review written on 8/1964.

The press around the Durack WolfHound may look more appealing than the Republique. But is it really a better Sedan? As long as it's not as bad as the 772, Durack 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.


The first stop with the Durack WolfHound was the track. Where this Sedan performed rather well. We found its 81 hp @ 2121RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine to give a decent response without being overly powerful. Although it's not class leading the WolfHound is better than most of its competition on the track. We were able to get the WolfHound up to a top speed of 88 mph and hit a 28.560s 0 to 60 mph time. With 162 lb-ft of torque, our smoking wheels were able to tow 22 lbs. When it comes right down to it, the WolfHound is for good or worse, average, well maybe slightly above average for a Sedan. When it comes to handling, the Sedan segment has very few models that are better than the Durack WolfHound. While it's no race car, this vehicle offers above average cornering abilities that will leave a smile on your face.


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

Above average to good is what a friend of mine said when trying to load some junk into the 31 cu-ft of space inside the Durack WolfHound. He was right! The WolfHound is above average for vehicles in this segment. It is one of the more practical vehicles of this type on the market.

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


I imagine it'll be rare to find a Durack WolfHound in repair shops or even junk yards. These things are well built with quality parts. And that will show in the long run.

When it came to fuel economy testing we tried to see how far we could go in the Durack WolfHound. Our goal was to run it out of fuel. We tried and we failed. Even when the WolfHound fuel gauge was below E, it kept going! Befuddled at this we asked Durack engineers how this is possible. They showed us their Motor Bunny fuel system, which just keeps going and going and going and going for an impressive 48.6 mpg. In one word, amazing.

With some focus on safety, Durack WolfHound has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Durack does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.


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