Route 66: 100 Years
Illustration: Gudy Steinmill-Hommel
Commemorate 100 years of America’s “Mother Road” with this enthralling trip through the past, present, and future of Route 66.
The most iconic road in American history is turning 100. Over the past century, Route 66 has far surpassed its original prosaic purpose as an automotive thoroughfare from Chicago to Los Angeles, becoming a pop culture icon embedded in literature, song, film, and (most significantly) our imagination. It remains so even decades after the Interstate system mostly bypassed it. Route 66: 100 Years offers the ultimate road trip from veteran Route 66 author and historian Jim Hinckley and the expert panel of Mother Road historians assembled for the richly illustrated journey. The book was published by Motorbooks and is also available for purchase on Amazon
