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 - Pontiac
PONTIAC, ILLINOIS. The Mayor's ride. This 1929
Pontiac (what else?) was loaned to the city for a year by a gentleman
from Australia. I found it parked out front of the auto museum, but
Mayor Robert Russell admitted that he does get to drive it around on
special occasions. It must be fun being mayor of a Route 66 town!
