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!

New Mexico Route 66 - Tucumcari
TUCUMCARI,
NEW MEXICO. The old Westerner Drive-In in Tucumcari. You can still hear
Elvis tunes coming from the parked convertibles, if you reminisce hard
enough. I wonder if the car hops wore roller skates.
Great post! I wanted to show the evolution of the Westerner Drive-Inn over time and linked to this post in my post. You can see it here: https://shutterbugsage.com/2016/04/10/the-abandoned-westerner-drive-inn-along-route-66-in-tucumcari/
