Review written on 5/1958.
It is not everyday one gets to drive a new automobile. Typically you find your self stuck with the same vehicle for at least five years before you purchase another one. And with the rate of depreciation and the amount of time we spend in traffic, this makes finding the right vehicle all the more important. Philadelphia Motors believes their Scranton may be the best Full Sized Sedan to enter the market. How does it compare other Full Sized Sedan such as the everyone else and Altoona Diesel? We'll find out in this month's Vehicle Review!

I was giddy when I heard we were testing Philadelphia Motors Scranton. 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 Full Sized Sedan I've ever been in. As impressive as that sounds, the 153 hp @ 4616RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine is even more impressive. Peddle to the metal, this baby will do 107 mph easily. And in a straight line we hit a 19.253s 0 to 60 mph! The engine puts out 140 lb-ft of torque making it able to tow 22 lbs which is average for this class. The good thing about the Philadelphia Motors Scranton is that it's actually handles better than your typical Full Sized Sedan. Its cornering abilities surpass the norm. So if it's weaving through cars in traffic or trying to do a lap around our track. The Scranton is a good choice. Mommy can I keep it? Please?!

The strongest selling point of the Philadelphia Motors Scranton is its exceptional sense of luxury. Break out the Grey Poupon because the Scranton is filled with niceties. The seats are so nice I never wanted to leave. In fact I'm writing this while sitting in the Scranton.

The Philadelphia Motors Scranton gives you a sense of home away from home. With 45 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Scranton feels like a second living room. Which was what Philadelphia Motors was probably thinking when they made this vehicle. "Lets make a vehicle that people could live in." Well Philadelphia Motors thank you, because after my wife threw me out, this is my new home. And let me tell you, it rocks!

Serious effort goes into every Philadelphia Motors Scranton 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.

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

The 18.6 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 Scranton needs to squeeze out a little more mileage if it ever wants to be a contender.

You could really tell the engineers at Philadelphia Motors designed the Scranton 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.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Scranton. This car is truly magnificent. I think future generations will look back at this vehicle and think, "I wish I owned one of these." It is absolutely one of the best Full Sized Sedan you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Scranton but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
