Great pics! Thanks for sharing. A friend of mine joined numerous other vettes and did the entire Route 66 trip (on their way back from the 50th anniversary party). He said it was the trip of a lifetime!

Hi j3studio -

It appears you both had a great time! what better car to enjoy a trip like this in?

I have seen some of those places - and others I had not.

Thank you for the sweet tour of Rt. 66!

best regards -
