    Haven't been there since the early to mid 70's. It sure has changed a lot ! Good to see some of the Motels are still open for business.

    On our family move West in '62, we spent the night at a "Motor Lodge" in Tucumcari.
    Imagine our surprise that the Easter Bunny found us there ! I was 4, my sister 6. That
    Bunny never let us down, neither did our '55 Desoto

    Through many of our travels, we've had so many stops arranged that ended up closed. It's so important for new travelers to have multiple options to stop and explore. Luckily, we've never not found another cool place to stop.

    Love the video. The Six Shooter in Tucumcari was Alex's Bar in the late 50's owned by my father-in-law Alec Taylor with his wife Lynn. Clint Eastwood was also a regular customer there drinking beer, and preferring it in a bottle. Alex also owned the Tasty Freeze on 66 in Tucumcari.

    Late to the game on this video Jeff, but thanks for the ride. We have made some good friends in Tucumcari on our trips through. Like to the two guys that stopped to see your '55, everyone you meet there are nice down to earth folks. We're heading back that way in Sept., and can't wait. We've stayed at the the both the Blue Swallow, and the Safari several times. Think we're gonna stay in the Route 66 Motel this time.

      @jeffthisted  6 месяцев назад +1

      Thank YOU for coming along for the ride with me @wanted-33 !! It's amazing to me how an old car & a road-trip can bring people together. Please keep me posted on how your stay at the Route 66 Motel is - I need to try out the Safari but I absolutely LOVE The Blue Swallow Motel... Thanks again!!

    • @wanted-33
      @wanted-33 6 месяцев назад +1

      @@jeffthisted The Safari is just as nice as The Blue Swallow IMHO, and they have garages also. We've taken our C6 & C7 Corvettes on most of our Route 66 runs, but this time we'll be taking the wife's Mustang GT. I've had a lot of great conversations with folks about the Vette. It brings back a lot of memories for those that used to own one, and the ones that still own one always appreciate another Vette. I'm guessing the Vette's get much better mpgs than your '55 210 Wagon.😀
