Review written on 7/1932.
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 Alcyone. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Station Wagon like the Washington. So where does the Valley Forge stand in the Station Wagon segment? After spending a few days with the Valley Forge. We have made our judgment.

The first stop for the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge 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 72 hp @ 2971RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine roars this rocket to a top speed of 75 mph in an impressive 32.064s 0 to 60 mph. If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 102 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 22 lbs which is amazing! I'm guilty wanting to steal this one for my self. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Station Wagon 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.

Looking at the interior we fell in love with the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge. The Valley Forge 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.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 48 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.

While not exactly handmade, Philadelphia Motors did put a bit of extra work into the Valley Forge and it shows. Panels actually fit and are made to last. The finish doesn't fade in the sun, and all the bolts have washers. It begs the question why buy a lower quality car every 5 years, and not buy the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge which should last a few generations?

The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Valley Forge awful fuel mileage of 12.1 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

While the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is certainly impressive in term of safety, it's not overly designed in this fashion in a way that would imped its enjoyment. Never the less this vehicle is more than safe enough for even the most uptight and poor drivers among us.

In the end the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge provide decent value for the money. It's not the best car in the Station Wagon segment, but it won't disappoint. You could do a lot worse. If this model appeals to you I see no reason to dissuade you from it.
