About this experience
This tour, hosted by former TV sitcom writers, will take you in a one-of-a-kind 1957 Pink Cadillac, while introducing you to the South Bay beach communities of Los Angeles. You will hear about the history of the area as we stroll the piers, visit shops, walk on the sand, if you chose, and take in extraordinary, picturesque coastal views. All this while riding town-to-town in a classic American car that, hopefully, will be filled with lots of laughter.
