Customer Stories

American Dream Machines has hundreds of happy customers all over the world . Rather than read a bunch of boring testimonials, we thought we would highlight a few of our best customer stories.

Musician, Billy Joel was traveling through Des Moines during his concert tour and he made a stop at American Dream Machines. While he was here, he couldn’t pass up a 1973 Volkswagen Super Beetle for his beach vehicle. 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 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. This picture was taken  with Billy Joel back stage at  his concert at Well Fargo arena.

Rock Star Bret Michaels, from the band Poison, and most of his rock band came to Des Moines for a Diabetes Charity Concert and stopped in our shop to buy his silver 1969 pro-touring Camaro. The Rock Star was a pleasure to talk with and he has a great bunch of guys in his band. He invited our whole staff to his concert and gave us back stage passes. Brett is pictured below with his car and the band in the back ground.

Comedian, Ron "Tater" White, purchased a triple black 1956 pro-street Corvette from our shop.  It was his 56th birthday and his wife wanted to get him something special.

Indy Racing legends, Al and Bobby Unser, visited American Dream Machines in 2007. They were kind enough to take a picture with some of the guys at the shop. They didn’t buy anything, but who cares. It was great to have them in the shop.
