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 Pontiac Car Museum is a
hoot. It is officially called the Pontiac-Oakland Automobile Museum,
which includes the Oakland brand of automobile that enjoyed a few brief
runs early in the 20th century. The Pontiac car collection is courtesy of Tim Dye, a car enthusiast
from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, who is also the museum's director. That's
Tim in the museum's resource center, a library filled with Pontiac
related materials. I love it!
