That's a perfect call. 'Though I always wanted a '68 Coupe de Ville convertible. That would be nice for cruising on the Mother Road. There was a '68 Coupe in the neighborhood that was this beautiful green.

If I had to chose a car and Music, I would pick our 1960 Jaguar Mark 2, and the album I would start just after the sun went down would be "Heart Shaped World by Chris Isaak.

I did find this picture taken in June 2022 in Pontiac Illinios . I only stayed on Rt66 for about its 1st 25 miles as it was a side trip on the way to SD. The car is my 2006 Pontiac Solstice converted with a LS2 V8 & Tremec 6-speed transmission. The trailer is not mine, but belongs to a retired GM engineer, and it is made out of the back 1/2 of a development car with no VIN that "escaped" the crusher.
I chose the Mark 2 over the Solstice because it is a better Highway cruiser, and more period correct for the Mother road.

If you would drive drive the original Route 66, which car would you pick and what would be the first tune coming from the speakers?

I have driven almost the entire route. Just the section through Illinois into Chicago has escaped me so far. Nowadays I would do the drive in one of these.




And c'mon, the music would have to be
