Route 66

We've flirted with Route 66 for past couple days and hundred miles -- crossing it here and there, even one old stretch within Petrified Forest park.  It kind of parallels Interstate 40, and we are now solidly on I40, so Route 66 is a definite presence.

Stopped tonight at a motel in Santa Rosa on Route 66, and a great little place right down the road -- the Route 66 Auto Museum.

This museum is run by a guy named Bozo.  If you carry a name like that, you'd better be good.  And he seems to be a genius at hot rods and car restoration.  Bozo's personal ride is a '55 Nomad.

And here's the great thing about this museum:  many of the exhibits also have price tags.  Think about it -- what if you went to the Louvre, and next to the Mona Lisa was a sign saying "$100M Firm, Will Consider Trades".  You see a nice '69 Camaro SS here?  It can be yours.  A 1961 Chevy Impala with 383 stroker engine and Muncie 4 speed?  Ford woody wagon?  Buick Dynaflow?  Just come up with the dough.  Gotta love that!
