HISTORY OF THE FRED HARVEY MOTOR CAR TOURS

The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway reached the Pacific coast in 1885, making the entire continent between the Atlantic and Pacific accessible by rail. With the invention of the motor car, accessibility to out-of-the-way places from all stopping points along the railway became possible.

Major R. Hunter Clarkson was one of the first entrepreneurs to commercialize the romantic idea of the Southwest. His words, "There is more of historic, prehistoric, human and scenic interest ... than in any similar area of the world, not excepting India, Egypt, Europe or Asia.... The big idea is not only to let people know what is in Northern New Mexico but to tell them what it is when they see it," spoken on August 25, 1925. This was the start of the Fred Harvey Company's "Grand Tour" era.

Tours to the Indian country known as Indian Detours and Off the Beaten Path, were chauffeured and guided motor car tours which swept people away from the familiarity of the train into remote places of New Mexico and Arizona. The Indian Detours officially began in May, 1926.

The tours were offered as side trips on the major railroad routes from the Midwest to Southern California. Tourists -- called "detourists" and "dudes" -- were met at the railroad stations by women dressed in Southwestern attire and accompanied by a cowboy driven Harvey car. Iconic Southwest locations such as the Grand Canyon, Rainbow Arch, the Petrified Forest, the Painted Desert and other American Indian lands were offered for the adventurous and curious, all within the comfort of the motor car!

The fleet of “Harveycars” included Cadillacs, Packards, Franklins, and White Motor Co. buses. They carried “detourists” or “dudes” (as they became known) into the heart of rugged New Mexico in style. Harvey Car Drivers were always men, and they were required to wear a western, cowboy-style outfit. The harsh effects of New Mexico’s rugged dirt roads on those big, beautiful cars required each driver to have at least four years of experience as a mechanic. The cars were regularly inspected, and thoroughly cleaned after each tour, and they were replaced every other year.
