Review written on 1/1951.

The new Washington looks to put Philadelphia Motors on the map against rivals in the Station Wagon segment. This new Station Wagon has some intriguing features, but is it enough to push the Washington to the top of your buying list above everyone else? Or is it such a lemon that it should be forgotten much like the Valley Forge? Let's take a look at the details in this month's Vehicle Review!


The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Washington was the track. I won't lie. I was scared. This Station Wagon is built for performance. Philadelphia Motors cut no corners when designing this vehicle for speed. The vomit stains on the carpet prove that the 89 hp @ 4113RPMs 2162 cc Flat4 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 85 mph in an impressive 30.257s 0 to 60 mph. While the 91 lb-ft of torque you get is not insane it is more than enough to tow 22 lbs which was a decent amount for this class. I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. There is not much to say about the Philadelphia Motors Washington when it comes to handling. As a Station Wagon it's below average. As an everyday driver it'll do its job. In summation the Washington is mundane.


The interior of the Philadelphia Motors Washington 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 Washington interior. I can not do anything but recommend the Washington for everyone. Philadelphia Motors really outdid themselves.

The Philadelphia Motors Washington gives you a sense of home away from home. With 49 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Washington feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Washington 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.


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

We wouldn't call the Philadelphia Motors Washington a truly 'green' vehicle, but it does get a very good 21.7 mpg city and which will leave your wallet full of greens, and that's good enough for us.

In some sense the Philadelphia Motors Washington reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Washington isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.


When you drive the Philadelphia Motors Washington you'll see other Station Wagon on the road and think to your self: Why would anyone buy anything other than a Philadelphia Motors. Simple answer, they're stupid!
