Review written on 3/1940.
Competition in the Phaeton segment has just gotten a little more heated. Philadelphia Motors has launched the Liberty Bell. Is this Phaeton enough to unseat the everyone else or will it be worse than the Elf. Don't worry! We have the answers.
On my first track run in the Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell suffered 2 cracked rips and a ruptured spleen. Not from wrecking it, but from the sheer raw power of this Phaeton. The Liberty Bell's 59 hp @ 3788RPMs 2240 cc Flat2 engine drives you into the seats while you accelerate with an impressive 24.685s 0 to 60 mph time and a top speed of 82 mph. The Liberty Bell is able to keep this speed all the way up to the the top speed of 82 mph. With 66 lb-ft of torque we were able to drag 22 lbs on our test trailer. So it can move your spare junk! Compared to its peers in the Phaeton class the Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell selling point should not be driveability. The Liberty Bell offers bare bones handling. There is just enough grip in the wheels to keep you from flying off the side of a cliff... But not much. On the track, it is not much better. After my hospital visit, I came to the conclusion that this is the best Phaeton I've ever tested on the track. Buy IT NOW!!!
Nothing says 'You've Made It' better than owning the Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell. It is a palace on wheels. Comfortable seats, firm leather, and lovely carpeting will make you feel like the King or Queen of the road.
The Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell gives you a sense of home away from home. With 30 cu-ft of cargo and passenger space the Liberty Bell 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!
The manufacturing process of Philadelphia Motors has really found something. The Liberty Bell seems like a hand built car through and through. The workmanship is amazing. Only fine artisans could produce something like this.
If there was one vehicle I believe would be able to hit 1,000,000 miles easily it would be the Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell. This vehicle was designed for dependability in mind.
We wouldn't call the Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell a truly 'green' vehicle, but it does get a very good 25.0 mpg city and which will leave your wallet full of greens, and that's good enough for us.
While talking with engineers at Philadelphia Motors we found out that the Liberty Bell was designed to be nuclear bomb proof. While we don't really know if that is bluster, we do sort believe them. Specially when it ran through the concrete brick during crash testing without leaving a dent on the hood.
When it comes down to it, the Philadelphia Motors Liberty Bell is one of the best Phaeton on the market. For almost everyone on the looking for a Phaeton, you won't find a much better vehicle than the Liberty Bell. It testing team was astonished by the results. We give it our total and complete recommendation.
