Default Rt 66 Mural

They painted a new Rt 66 mural on a building here where the original Rt 66 came through downtown Rolla, Missouri.

So, thought it would be a good place for a few pictures.




Now these will show you just how much bigger our Camaro is next to my C4.

Very nice pics. Didn't realize just how much higher the new Camaro is. No front plates needed on the Camaro?

Great pics, I would never believed it without the pics. I think the Vette might still be longer. That's a nice stable you have there.

That's a great looking mural. It makes a nice backdrop for your pictures.
I'm amazed at how much taller the Camaro is than the Corvette.
You have professional photography skills and two perfect vehicles to display them.

Pete, you came through Rolla on the 2012 Power Tour
You zipped on by via the interstate.

But the mural hadn't been painted yet, so I'll give ya a break.

If you ever get to Kingman, AZ you will find a mural inside the Route 66 Museum too. I was there in Feb '13 but did not take any pics. Rolla's mural is nicely done - thanks for sharing!
