Review written on 5/1958.
The press around the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower may look more appealing than the Redwood. But is it really a better Coupe 2+2? As long as it's not as bad as the X2413, Philadelphia Motors 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 day started right when I was picked to drive the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower on the track. The Sunflower is a is pretty fast for a Coupe 2+2. Its 103 hp @ 4962RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine response great and is the perfect size and power for this vehicle. It left a smile on my face when I was able to top it out at 95 mph. And then on the drag strip I was able to crank out a 21.804s 0 to 60 mph. Some may have their doubts, but the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower is a fantastic track Coupe 2+2. On the track testing the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower did have some slight issues. Of course it was not designed to be a track car. But as a Coupe 2+2 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.
Nothing says 'You've Made It' better than owning the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower. It is a palace on wheels. Comfortable seats, firm leather, and lovely carpeting will make you feel like the King or Queen of the road.
When it comes to cargo, its 27 cu-ft of space is better than most vehicles of its type, but far from the best. We believe there is enough room in the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower to fill all your needs without over doing it.
Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Sunflower 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 Sunflower was designed with longevity in mind. The vehicle is sturdy and easy to maintain. It will last as long as you want it.
The Philadelphia Motors Sunflower gets 21.3 mpg. So get friendly with your local fuel station attendant. You'll be seeing him often.
The extra effort from Philadelphia Motors to make the Sunflower feel safer pays off. The reinforced frame makes the vehicle much more impact resistant. Don't go driving into walls your self, just take our word for it.
All in all, the Philadelphia Motors Sunflower is a good choice among its peers. It checks just enough boxes in our Coupe 2+2 tests for us to give it our recommendation. There are a few other Coupe 2+2 that are better than the Sunflower. But for some buyers, the Sunflower is still a good choice.
