Our warehouse manager, Bill is making his way across Route 66 and sending back some great pictures along the way. From Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo (10 vintage Cadillacs buried nose-first in a Texas field since 1974, each one a fresh canvas for whoever passes through) to the gates of Graceland in Memphis, Bill is hitting the classics on what is arguably America's most iconic stretch of highway.
Route 66 originally ran nearly 2,450 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, crossing eight states and three time zones. Its diagonal configuration was a turning point for the trucking industry. By 1930, truckers had come to rival the railroads, and Route 66 gave them a faster, flatter route from the Midwest to the Pacific coast. Before that, during the Dust Bowl, it became known as something else entirely the Road to Opportunity, carrying over 200,000 people west in search of a better life. This year also marks its 100th anniversary not a bad time to get out there and drive it.
Safe travels, Bill!
