Review written on 5/1958.
Philadelphia Motors just released a new Station Wagon called the Valley Forge. We've been waiting to see this vehicle in person. And now that we have, we can make our opinions known. Is it truly better than the class leader? The Washington. Or is even the lowly Watchman better than it? Read to find out more!

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Station Wagon. The Valley Forge's 184 hp @ 4560RPMs 4976 cc V4 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 17.460s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 103 mph. The Valley Forge is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 103 mph. If that wasn't enough with the 170 lb-ft of torque will melt the tires off the rims. When hooked to a trailer, this baby will haul an amazing 22 lbs! The handling characteristics of the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is borderline acceptable for a Station Wagon. We wouldn't buy it for a tracking or narrow city streets. But for most people, who care little for driving, it is fine. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Station Wagon I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!

While the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge won't win any awards, It won't turn heads, and it certainly doesn't have a wow factor. The Valley Forge does have a very well design interior. It may not be top end, but it is more than enough for long trips and everyday drivers. It makes you feel good about life. Without feeling pompous.

The Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge gives you a sense of home away from home. With 50 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Valley Forge 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!

Philadelphia Motors has really put some effort into the production of the Valley Forge. And it shows in the construction quality of the machine. Panel gaps are non-noticeable. Nothing shakes or rattles when driving down the road. It's a well-built vehicle.

Dog is said to be man's best friend. But that saying isn't true anymore. I propose the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is truly man's best friend. Not once in our long term testing did it need repair. This vehicle was built to last a life time. It is truly a wonder of the world. Centuries from now people will still probably be driving this thing, that's how rock solid it is.

Whether or not the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge is an energy company conspiracy or not is up for debate. What is certain is the Valley Forge awful fuel mileage of 15.2 mpg will certainly drive up energy stocks!

With some focus on safety, Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge has been able to outshine most in its class. It almost makes you believe the marketing hype that Philadelphia Motors does actually believe in the safety and security of your family.

I was happy with the time I spent in the Philadelphia Motors Valley Forge. 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 Station Wagon you can buy. An instant classic that others in the segment will be compared to. I wish I could spend more time with the Valley Forge but it is time for them to take it away. I believe I might go buy one myself.
