Rather than read a bunch of boring testimonials, we thought we would highlight a few of our top customer stories…

Musician Billy Joel was traveling through Des Moines on tour and made a stop at American Dream Machines. While he was here, he couldn’t pass up a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle for his beach car. He paid cash for the beetle and gave us eight second row tickets to his concert with back stage passes. He was a great customer and we are fortunate to have met him. If you do a internet search on Billy Joel American Dream Machines, you will find thousands of references to his visit to our shop.  Billy Joel purchased the 1973 Super Beetle because it was the year he recorded Piano Man, we are fortunate to have him as one of our customers.
