American Dream Cars Tour

If you woke up this morning wondering ‘Why isn’t there a Prisicilla Queen of the Desert experience in South Africa?’ wonder no more! The American Dream Cars experience offers a thrilling contrast to the still arid and mountainous landscape of Montagu. Getting to explore the streets and surroundings of this historic town from a meticulously maintained vintage American car – chosen as much for its character as for its comfort – feels more exploratory than a simple point-A-to-B transit and you can glam this up to your heart’s content.

Founded by Gert Lubbe and PJ Basson, the experience centres on exploring the area in one of their 2 Cadillacs cars. The idea is simple: ride along as you are guided through the Langeberg region, tracing quiet country roads, mountain passes and even the longest wine route in the world: Robertson Wine Valley. It’s a curated experience that leaves you with lasting memories.

Your options: a baby blue 1956 Cadillac Sedan De Ville and a 1964 Cadillac Sedan De Ville offering something between nostalgia and novelty – particularly for those unfamiliar with left-hand drive.
More than anything, it’s about the experience of driving – the tactile, slightly theatrical pleasure of an older car, set against the vast vista of the Klein Karoo. Think vintage white leather, a whiff of petrol and the sometimes rocky and rugged Route 62 and you’ve got the whole experience right there.
