This was S&R Auto Center in 2015 when we snapped this photo. At one
time this was Archie's Standard Service. Apparently "The best friend
your car ever had" was located at "the second stoplight from
Chicago". That might have been a bit of advertising hyperbole.
The mansard style roof has been added somewhere along the line.

About Us We started traveling Historic U.S. Route 66 as a destination in 2009. It's like a 2,400 mile long drive back in time from Chicago to Santa Monica! more
Did
You Know: Many parts of the old 4 lane Route 66 were reverted to a 2 lane
road after 66 was realigned to the interstate. In many places the abandoned
lanes are still there.
