The Complete Route 66 Lost & Found
“This quality book does it all: takes you on a magical memory trip along what was once the main east-west artery of the nation stretching from Chicago to Los Angeles, tells the stories of the filling stations, small towns, motor courts, cafes, honky-tonks and other traveler services along the fabled Route 66 and show you what remains….This would be a fabulous gift for anyone who ever traveled Route 66 especially for highway history, vintage car or classic RV buffs.  Imagine parking outside a restored 1940’s-era motor court in our 1949 Ford.  Sounds like fun.” --Escapees, Nov/Dec 2008“Author Russell A.
