Review written on 6/1947.
Some say we're never kind enough to Philadelphia Motors. Face it, we don't pull our punches when it comes to vehicle reviews. Just look at what we call the 5922. That doesn't mean we don't sing praises when someone makes a good Station Wagon like the everyone else. So where does the Washington stand in the Station Wagon segment? After spending a few days with the Washington. We have made our judgment.

On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Washington suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Station Wagon. The Washington's 101 hp @ 3100RPMs 4288 cc Flat6 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 25.191s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 86 mph. The Washington is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 86 mph. We found that with 138 lb-ft of torque this machine can tow an impressive 22 lbs. On the track you can tell that the Philadelphia Motors Washington is above average when it comes to handling and driveability. Most Station Wagon would not be able to keep up with the Washington on twisty and windy roads. It can almost put a smile on your face. 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!!!

The Philadelphia Motors Washington'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 Washington.

Inside the Philadelphia Motors Washington it feels like they could add an extra row of seats. There is enough room to even lay down, which is amazing! The 48 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.

The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Washington seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.

When it comes to dependability, if you squeeze the Philadelphia Motors Washington hard enough, you'll get lemonade.

At this point in testing we would normally take the Philadelphia Motors Washington out on the roads. However our test driver barely made it out of the parking lot before running out of fuel. The Washington's ghastly 13.7 mpg means you'll need to take a few jerry cans, scratch that, a few barrels of fuel just to make it to the grocery store.

In some sense the Philadelphia Motors Washington reminds us of an over protective parent. One that wraps you in damage proof forcefield that prevents all interaction with the outside world. While the Washington isn't that safe. It is still quite comforting to know that nothing can hurt you.

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