The Club Car was a small transit vehicle developed by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications in conjunction with UTDC.

The vehicles were built on a Dodge RM 350 van chassis. The all-fibreglass body was adapted from an RV model that was designed and manufactured by RekVee Industries Ltd of Scarborough, Ontario. Funcraft Industries Ltd. of Cambridge then installed the seating and interiors. The Club Car featured 17 perimeter seats. They also featured indirect lighting, under-the-seat ducted heating, and large picture windows. Almost all Club Cars had a single-leaf sedan-type front door.

The Club Car was most often utilized by transit operators for dial-a-bus services and light ridership transit routes.

There was a similar looking RV model produced by RekVee, marketed as the Routemaster, in 24' and 28' versions.
