Greetings from Route 66: The Ultimate Road Trip Back Through Time Along America's Main StreetTake the scenic route with this colorful collection of vintage art, photos, history, and trivia celebrating the historic highway.

You’ll find history, roadside attractions, pop culture, ghost stories—even recipes from famous greasy spoons. And it’s all illustrated with the largest collection of vintage art, postcards, travel decals, collectibles, and other Route 66 memorabilia ever amassed. This is truly a worthy tribute to the Main Street of America. |
