Harveycar Motor Cruises was launched in 1927 by the Fred Harvey Company as an extension of their successful Indian Detours, which offered multi-day guided tours across the American Southwest. These cruises took travelers through iconic sites in New Mexico, Arizona, and southern Colorado using custom-built tourist busses known as Harveycars. Designed for comfort and adventure, the Motor Cruises provided an immersive experience of the region’s landscapes and cultural landmarks. Although popular, they were discontinued in the early 1930s due to the Great Depression, marking a brief but memorable chapter in American tourism.
