Review written on 3/1922.

We have eagerly awaited the arrival of the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. The day has finally come. We're looking forward to taking this Phaeton out for a drive. After our recent reviews of the Fubbs, any test drive to make us forget it is welcomed! The real question bouncing around the office is if the Phillie is better than the Lauzon. You'll have to read to find out.


I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Phillie. On the track this thing is fast. How fast? Notice there are no pictures on this page? That fast! This is one of the fastest Phaeton I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 40 hp @ 1817RPMs 4778 cc I3 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 59 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a Not Applicable! If this doesn't drop your jaw, the 94 lb-ft of torque will spin the earth in the opposite direction, the baby can tow 22 lbs which is amazing! On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Phaeton would not be able to keep up with the Phillie on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!


Interior build, materials, and features are average for the segment. The Philadelphia Motors Phillie's cabin isn't going to amaze. But compared to most other vehicles of this type, it's not going to let you down. It has most of the standard features, and comfort, while lacking in some areas, is decent.

In terms of passenger and cargo space the Philadelphia Motors Phillie's 27 cu-ft could be considered quite adequate for its class. The seats are roomy enough for almost every person, it can store what you would expect, and there is still enough room left over to have a bunch of knickknacks. It's hard to see where Philadelphia Motors could improve this car. It's good. Very good.

The workmanship put into the Philadelphia Motors Phillie is unparalleled in this market. From its hand finished panelling to ultrahigh quality materials the Phillie is truly a work of art that should last a life time. It seems Philadelphia Motors has perfected the perfect.


If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Phillie. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.

The 15.0 mpg city and might not look great. And it isn't. But there are worst options out there. That is no excuse however. The Philadelphia Motors Phillie needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.

While the Philadelphia Motors Phillie 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.


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