The Drive:

Begin your trip in Monterey, cruising through the historic streets along the way to Cannery Row, Lover’s Point, and Pacific Grove.

Experience the world-renowned 17-Mile Drive, winding through majestic cypress trees, rocky coastlines, and world class Pebble Beach golf courses. With the top down and the engine humming, you'll savor every curve of this legendary coastal route.

Feel the ocean breeze as you roll into picturesque Carmel-by-the-Sea, a storybook village brimming with boutique shops, art galleries, tasting rooms, and irresistible seaside vibes.

Or head south along California’s Highway 1 to Big Sur, where rugged cliffs meet the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean. Stop for a moment of awe-inspiring beauty at Bixby Bridge, one of the most photographed spots in California. Continue along to the town of Big Sur and stop for lunch along a creek surrounded by towering redwood trees or perched high on a coastal cliff overlooking the ocean.

Whether you're looking to make memories with family, celebrate a special occasion, or show off to friends back home, this is more than a drive—it's an experience tailored just for you. Let Monterey Touring Vehicles be your guide to a day filled with fun, charm, and classic California cool.

The Car:

It’s hard to picture a car that represents classic Americana more that the Ford Thunderbird. A classic two-door-sports-car, and the first of its kind for an American automobile since 1938, which offers a stout 4.8L V8 with a 2-speed automatic transmission.

Our example is presented in the vibrant two-tone color combination of Goldenrod Yellow over white and gives you a host of options during your rental. Do you want the rare ‘Porthole’ hardtop on for privacy, or do you want the top down for total freedom? Don’t worry, you can have it any way you like – just ask the day of.

The T-Bird is a beautiful ride that will attract every onlooker you pass. Easy to drive, easy to park and enough power to have you keep up with modern traffic, effortlessly. Sounds like a slice of Americana to us – we think you’ll agree!
