Road Show
In 1946, Nat King Cole recorded a short and sweet number about one of America’s favorite well-beaten paths. “If you ever plan to motor west / Travel my way, take the highway that is best / Get your kicks on Route sixty-six.” Almost 66 years later, the iconic stretch of highway from Chicago to LA has become a metaphor for 1950s and 1960s nostalgia ®C neon, diners, the open road ®C and continues to inspire artists, both in song and on canvas.
