Montoya Garage

Route 66, Montoya, NM

This old garage is located on Route 66 between the Richardsons's Store and the Beasley Texaco. I haven't found any information on the garage but I believe it was probably built after 1946 because Jack Rittenhouse specifically said in his book that there was no garage in Montoya.

The columns out front indicate that there was a canopy over a pump island. A pair of beams protrude from the front of the building that may well have reached the columns and supported a canopy.

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.
