• Fun Facts: Classic Route 66 is approx. 2448 miles long. The route starts in Chicago and ends in Santa Monica. It crosses 8 states and passes through three time zones. Route 66 was officially decommisioned in 1985 although one can still drive parts of the route today. Much of the route was replaced by I-55, I-44, I-40, I-15 and I-10. Route 66 is also known as "The Will Rogers Highway" and "The Mother Road." Bobby Troup's 1946 song "Get Your Kicks On Route 66" became a major hit when Nat King Cole first recorded it. Since that time it has been remixed by various groups including the Rolling Stones and Depeche Mode. Cyrus Stevens Avery, as Consulting Highway Specialist to the U.S. Bureau of Public Roads, was tasked with the creation of a national highway system. In 1926 his efforts paid off with the commission of Route 66. Avery became known as the "Father of Route 66." Arizona contains the longest stretch of the historic route 66 still in use. The last curio store on Route 66 is Tucumcari's Tee Pee Curios. It is on the mother highway between Albuquerque and Amarillo.
