Requiem for Route 66

Uploaded: October 18, 2018 | Entered: October 18, 2018 06:16:54

Description

A 1932 Studebaker commemorates the trace where historic Route 66 once passed through the Petrified Forest National Park in Arizona. Old telephone poles mark the location of the former highway while trucks in the distance speed past on Route 66's replacement, Interstate 40.
