Route 66 was a mostly two lane highway that extended from Chicago to Los Angeles, through Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California, before gradually giving up to the modern interstate. Most of the old pavement is still there, and can be followed with the right maps and directions. I drove the entire length of old 66 in 2012, and invite you to follow along!

Illinois Route 66 - Odell
ODELL, ILLINOIS. Another and more famous old filling station in Odell, the fully restored 1932 Standard Oil station. It was restored by the efforts of the Illinois Route 66 Preservation Committee, those good folks who knew enough to include a squeaky sign that sways in the wind. Have a seat and see who stops by.
