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 - Litchfield
LITCHFIELD, ILLINOIS. The Sky View Drive-In
Theatre opened in 1950 and is still a wonderful place to spend a summer
evening, whether with family, girl friend, or trunk full of high school
buddies. After years of corporate ownership, it is now a family run
business, owned and operated by Norman Paul and his wife Del. Located on the older alignment of 66 through town - just check out all the farm stuff - it is the last surviving drive-in on Route 66 in Illinois.
