Review written on 5/1954.
Many vehicles come and go. Most are duds like the French but a few stand out like the F8191. So this month, we'll be looking at the Altoona Diesel to see where it stands out among the crowd. Is this new Philadelphia Motors a keeper? Or should it rust away with time?

After a morning of coffee and drawing straws, I was chosen one to take the Philadelphia Motors Altoona Diesel out to the test track. Thank god for the coffee! The Altoona Diesel is a real sleeper. Literally this Full Sized Sedan will put you to sleep. The Altoona Diesel is slower than a three legged donkey with hoof problems. First off the 102 hp @ 1700RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine is extremely too weak for this vehicle. It barely can hit a top speed of 60 mph and accelerate in Not Applicable. Now you can see why I fell asleep behind the wheel. We found that with 254 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 8033 lbs. This is certainly not a race car. Compared to its peers in the Full Sized Sedan class the Philadelphia Motors Altoona Diesel selling point should not be driveability. The Altoona Diesel offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better. All of that being said, this vehicle should be avoid.

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

The Philadelphia Motors Altoona Diesel is one of the most spacious vehicles in its class. With 53 cu-ft of cargo and passenger room you should never have any issues with transportation. Even if you have to move an elephant...

The Philadelphia Motors Altoona Diesel has just enough labor of love in it to make it better than most other vehicles. Even though it came off an assembly line you can tell that the employees at Philadelphia Motors love their job. This is reflected in the quality of material and workmanship used to finish the product.

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

Here is a pro-stock tip. If the Philadelphia Motors Altoona Diesel sells any meaningful number of vehicles, be sure to buy fuel stocks! It's that bad! The Altoona Diesel gets an abysmal 15.3 mpg! This is not the vehicle for trying to save money on fuel expenses.

You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Altoona Diesel to save lives. This vehicle not only reduces the risk of being killed in it, but reduces the risk of being killed from it. This vehicle should be looked at as a marvel of preventative engineering.

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