Illinois Route 66 - Odell




ODELL, ILLINOIS. A mid-twentieth century archeological site on old Route 66 in Illinois, offering a close-up look at the few remaining artifacts from that lost era, including the classic Pegasus logo.
     The rusty old gas pump at this long abandoned Mobil station has one modern day attention grabber. Look closely at the 3 digit "Total Purchase" and go back to a time when a fill up could not cost more than $9.99, no matter what. And remember, back in the day, an attendant would actually come out through that faded door and pump your gas for you!
