- Description:
- Postcard drawing of a stretch of Route 66 in Shamrock, Texas showing a service station, cafe and motel. Back of card: Route 66 was certified in 1926 when the nation adopted a numbered system of cross-country, inter-state roads. Fully paved by 1936, Route 66 became an important - & legendary - highway, """"immortalized"""" in literature, music, & on television. Gradually """"replaced"""" by huge, homogeneous """"interstates,"""" 66 was decertified in 1985, ceasing to exist """"officially."""" But well over 80% of the old road is still driveable -- So, travel back in time, & leave the stress behind -- on the interstates...And then, you will say: """"I still get my kicks, on old Route 66!"""" small is beautiful * old is beautiful * slow is beautiful * safe is beautiful!
