Route 66 Motors opened in 1979 in a 1940 building that had been a Delano Thrifty Service Station and Strawhun Grocery and Filling Station at different times over the years. We had a nice visit with Wayne Bates, the owner when we were here in 2009. The gift shop which was located in an adjacent 1950's diner was no longer operating by then but he still had several classic cars around.

x 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
xDid 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.
