    New Mexico is a great drive on Route 66! The '55 is the only car on the road making it a truck free drive and seeing the deserted stations & buildings and classic signs along the way!! Looking for the next video & story!

    I was stationed in Tucson for almost 4 years ('05-'09) when I had my Trans Am and I never made it out to see any of the mother roads history. I kick myself a lot for that.

    Locals call it Tha-roo, though it's spelled Thoreau. Near where you scraped the bottom of your car used to have indoor bull riding and dancing ladies. And that Avalon's restaurant used to be down the road in a cool vintage location that was torn down. The Denny's turned into Kristy's coffee shop. THE best wet fries ever.

    enjoy your video, brings back memories of my trip on old 66 in the early 70's, makes me want to do it again before I get too old to travel. what color is your 55? my friend is doing a 55 sedan for me and I want to do it in Navajo Tan that looks alot like your color. its hard to tell from paint chips on paint sites they very too much.

    Good one Jeff. Those yellow headlights add a lot to the car in my opinion. Kinda bland with the stock lights. I had a 64 Olds with a 4-light set up and I had the high-beams tinted green.

    Thanks man. Loved all the old buildings. New Mexico has some unique architecture. I was wondering how long did it take you to drive Route 66?

      Thank YOU @jmark7390 !! New Mexico is pretty cool right?!? The further west we go the more abandoned it seems to get right? We took about 3-4 weeks to road-trip all of old Route 66. It was amazing. Thanks for coming along for the ride with me!!
