Eight states, nearly four thousand kilometers long, from Chicago to Los Angeles. U.S. Route 66, established in 1926, connected the industrial East Coast to the shores of California. A black ribbon winding through plains, deserts, and cities.
Route 66 quickly outgrew its role as a simple road to become a cultural myth: celebrated by Steinbeck and Kerouac, immortalized in songs by Nat King Cole, Chuck Berry, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen, and brought to life on screen in films like Thelma & Louise or Pixar’s Cars, it has become the legend of America itself.
