Review written on 5/1958.

The press around the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania may look more appealing than the 8045. But is it really a better Touring? As long as it's not as bad as the H8699, 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.


It has been a long time since I've driven a Touring that performed as well. I really hoped that the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania would fix the performance funk we've had lately. Much to my chagrin, the Pennsylvania did great! The 103 hp @ 4962RPMs 2551 cc I4 engine was able to launch the car. Getting out of the car I had to pop my neck. While there are faster Touring the Pennsylvania does better than most. On our speed tests we were able to get the Pennsylvania up to 100 mph and on the strip we did an impressive 22.808s 0 to 60 mph. The engine puts out 88 lb-ft of torque which can haul 22 lbs. While Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania will never become a track car, it is one of the better performers. The handling characteristics of the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania is borderline acceptable for a Touring. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine.


The Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania's interior is well designed. The seats have enough support to get you over a long trip, and the material qualities, while not amazing, are more than adequate. Many optional features in other vehicles are standard here. This leads to an overall nice experience inside the Pennsylvania.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 28 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.

'Spare no expense!' and 'Perfection!' are known to be mottos of Philadelphia Motors. And they show this off in their Pennsylvania. The build quality is no short of perfectly amazing. Hats off to their hard work.


It is a rare occurrence to see the Philadelphia Motors Pennsylvania in the shop. These are some of the most reliable vehicles in the segment made. Philadelphia Motors knows how to build a machine that will last the ages. No planned obsolescence here.

The 22.1 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 Pennsylvania needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.

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