maurice wade Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 This is my car with a pic of the old kachina doll that was located about half mile from my house. It was used for years to lure traverlers to stop at the local shops. It is now located on the grounds of the Route 66 museum in Elk City, Ok. Quote

55 Fargo Posted February 13, 2012 Report Posted February 13, 2012 Great looking car, nice color, reminds me of the color of my 47 Chrysler Coupe Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 And......Fred.........it's pretty darn amazing how good your coupe looks nowadays. Quote
BobT-47P15 Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Seems like I remember a totem pole looking item in the front yard of a house on old Rt 66, just East of Carterville, MO (n and e of Joplin). Haven't been down that stretch of road recently. Quote
Dan Hiebert Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Elk City, OK is on Interstate 40, about 40 miles east of the Texas state line. In our travels from west Texas and New Mexico to visit family in New Jersey over the years we always saw the signs for the Rt 66 Museum, but always thought it would be too cheesy to stop in, or were in a rush to get to the east coast. We always seemed to reach Elk City at the point of the trip where we didn't feel like stopping yet. Don't know what I was thinking, since "cheesy" places along the road are usually always a hoot! On the move from NM to MI we finally stopped, and promptly lamented not having stopped before. The Rt 66 Museum is certainly not "cheesy" and I would encourage anyone traveling the old Mother Road through Oklahoma to stop and visit. Quote
maurice wade Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 Nice car, for some reason it looks a little FASTER than mine. Quote
maurice wade Posted February 15, 2012 Author Report Posted February 15, 2012 Dan, glad you finally stopped by. The museum always has something going on in the summer time. Car clubs, bike clubs, and so on stop in every day. M Quote
