PICS: I'm a Route 66 fan and traveled it three times.
Cant wait to go again. So much to see and do. Here are a few places from a Route 66 cutout book with some of my 1/64 models. My favorite is the Blue Whale and the story behind its creation. Google Route 66 Blue Whale for quite a story.
Anyone else here travel 66?

Probably one of the 1st tv shows to make the car a star too.

Which reminds me of 'My Mother the Car'. Anyone else recall that one ?

Yep. And Ann Southern as the cars voice. Jerry was a true gem on 'Coach'.

Yup. How about "The Invisible Man" (Austin Healey)?

Austin Healey on "The Invisible Man." (pics)
The Invisible Man (later known as H.G. Wells' Invisible Man) is a British black-and-white science fiction/superhero/adventure/espionage television series that aired on ITV from September 1958 to July 1959. It was aired on CBS in the United States, running two seasons and totalling 26 half-hour episodes. The series was nominally based on the novel by H. G. Wells, one of four such television series.

We used to live less than a mile from Route 66 in St. Louis county.
In 1973 we drove our 1961 Corvette to Chicago and then west to California and back to St. Louis. I was 33 at the time and can't imagine doing that now at my age. Still own the car however.
