Bruce Springsteen has a big connection

Interesting/informative/entertaining. Remember the “ Mother Road “ from numerous trips east and west thanks to the different folks whom put a lot of time & effort into producing these video film 🎥 clips. For future generations to experience & enjoy 😉

I lived on Route Sixty Six , 66 inWest Covina,California.

My husband JIM ROSS is featured at 10:25 Wow - that’s fun 👍 to see. Cheers from Old Hiway 66 in central Oklahoma! ✅

Thanks For Pixar & Disney with Cars remembered to Route 66. :-') <3

Bonnie and Clyde "believed" to have murder.... given credit for things they NEVER d id...."wash the blood from their hands?" you couldn't find a classic car to drive?

Oh wow, this aired on TLC? Different times, I gotta say.

1926 Route 66 was not America's first paved highway. The 1913 Transcontinental Lincoln Highway from New York City to San Francisco was the very first road/highway to use Portland Cement as a roadbed surface in America.

This is amazing. I want to travel to this place!.

My parents drove us all the way from Southern California, to Missouri and back..I was little but remember like it was yesterday. It seems magical now.🥰😇🥰😇 PLEASE SAVE RT.66! It's a huge part of. US HISTORY.DONT ERASE THIS!

I have to give you major props! I've watched other route 66 youtubers and can't get through more than a few seconds. You guys have passion and I hear that straight out from the beginning. Other youtubers are too busy trying to impress some hollyweird producer thinking they're going to be the next big thing. You don't hear the passion. But here in this video, you nailed it. Congrats. Keep the awesome vids coming!

A commentary from captain america, which is great. RIP Captain America.

Steve !!! My man , Stephen the cable guy here

1 min and I already know, with Peter Fonda, ------------------------this road trip will twist left. Watch out for the edge of the cliff Peter. Watch out for the edge of the cliff.

I love how at 9:50, he's double parked.

JUst add another lane for trucks, leave the center as original 66, there done.

My older brother and I drove the road from San Pedro, California to Louisviile, Kentucky with $50 in our pocket. Tim was 17 and I was 16. We drove at night because of the heat and slept in the day. This tactic kept the 6 cylinder engine running cool. We ate cheese and crackers and soft drinks. We had no spare tire. We sold our custom wheels for cash to drive back. Our 1956 Chevy Bel-Air was totaled when a New Yorker automobile crashed into the left rear bumper and we were knocked into a crowd of truck drivers stopping traffic because of the heavy fog. All but one driver escaped harm. My brother accidentally hit him. We were stranded and homeless in Joplin, Missouri. Local teenagers bought parts off our wrecked Chevy and found a place for us to stay. I bought a bus ticket to Los Angeles and my brother Tim hitch-hiked to LA. I never learned what happened to the truck driver. My photograph made the front page of the newspaper in the fall of 1966.

Some ask what is the big deal with Route 66 ???? Not really much to see unless you like seeing old Gas Stations again and again or similar buildings. What is the big deal ?? It's the people and the places you visit along the way that make it a road trip you will Never forget in your life. So many people stay in the towns you visit along the way and help to keep the true spirit of Route 66 alive for us to enjoy, from a time long past. IF you want to escape the real world for a while ? Route 66 could be the place you ?

I love the secondary roads. I have traveled a chunk of Route 66. Being a northern boy the Can-Am highway was my Route 66. I have been to Texas 3 times in my life from ND. Never touched an interstate to do it. Been down 83, 85, and 281. I love the little towns. I grew up 7 miles from a town of 200 people. When we'd go into town on Wednesday night in the summers for the watermelon drawing I use to wonder how all those people could stand to live together.

Fonda just brushes over Illinois like it is nothing. He hits the usual spots but missed most of Illinois. 6:50 - "St. Louis is the largest city on the route." - Did he forget about Chicago and Los Angeles? 10:30 - Last section of original road? There are many sections in Illinois if he had looked.

i hope one day i can drive my ol dodge cummins on that road,, its my dream dont want much in life but to be healthy clear mind and my wife by my side healthy my two boys also.dont need to be rich to do this sleep in the truck camper nice and easy no speeding here.im 49 now and life threw me a few curves.just want enough time and a bit of money not to much for diesel once im done that...if the good lord wraps his hand around me il be happy.good job with this documentary.from canada.

Why can't Rt.66 become a national monument.

Love these short history videos! That’s how we make them too, short & to the point!

I never realized Bobby troupe wrote and performed that famous song. I can totally hear his voice. I only ever knew him as an actor and husband of the gorgeous and sultry voiced actress and singer Julie London. Very cool

Peter Fonda makes this great

That rt 66 song is dumb

I was going to watch this until I saw that Peter Fonda was narrating it. He once tweeted about how he would like to see a young boy sexually abused in a jail. He was a filthy demented, pig and I will never watch anything that he had anything what so ever to do with.

My Long Time & Dear Friend,, Hody 'LongBow' a TRUE mountain man...

road trip 66 my dream

I grew up by Route 66 in Missouri.... I am now 70 years old and miss the old days

Very entertaining video. Made me want to start planning my own trip on Rte. 66!

Troup's wife gave him the idea "get your kicks on Route 66" every book about Route 66 says this. He divorced her for a movie star. She got no credit. Also very little of the Route 66 TV show takes place on Route 66.

Unless you're planning on paying the producers of this show (one of which produces Big Meals, Small Places), you need to immediately de-monetize this video. Either that or a copyright claim will be sent to Google/KZfaq.

I tried that steak challenge in the big Texan and failed..

Peter Fonda, Easy Rider, may you recieve the words of your Maker.

We get it, you've got a viper. Stfu about it already

My very Good Friend Hodie a true Mountain man Who Walked the Red Road with truth in his moccs' May the Great Spirit know what a True friend you Were...

Talk to the Old Native American Indians and they will tell you that,all of America has been destroyed. I agree.

Make the road a little wider. I've been on route 66 when I was a teenager going to California from Ohio . And back from grossing the Northern USA with our family.

Germans are absolutely in love with all things Americana. As a Shelby American Dealer in the west I met many folks from Germany that either fly to America and rent a sports car to travel 66 or they ship their Classic or 60/70s American muscle car from Germany to the US to travel 66. They return year after year to drive a section at a time, spending a month or 2 each time they come. I grew up traveling Rt 66 as my family traveled to California to see family each summer, then with my dad who was a trucker ( in the 60s). After his death in 67 we moved to Arizona where as a young adult I still traveled Rt 66 regularly. The fight to save Rt 66 as an American icon had its start in Ashfork Arizona when a local who grew up and had a barbershop in Ashfork grew frustrated with his town dying as a result of I-40. He and his brother got locals to back his efforts with the State of Arizona to get Rt 66 across the state designated as a Historical route thus saving it. Soon after that happened others contacted the man to see how he did it, then did the same in their states. I no longer remember his name but his barbershop is located next to the ice cream cone shop in Ashfork on Rt 66. Happy Motoring to all who love The Mother Road, Rt 66.

restore some of the places back to original and open up places keep it on the map

leave route 66 there I haven't had the chance to get there yet I will

This video is pretty gay. Spending all that time on a playwright in Lebanon Missouri and nothing about the Trail of Tears Monument or Devil's Elbow where 3 alignments of Route 66 exist including an original 4-lane with canted curbs. Just like anything Peter Fonda touches, it completely misses the point.

Guess its too late to travel on Route 66

I hate it when people try to destroy any part of the highway. The stretch of road in Oklahoma should be widened out instead of being destroyed

Too bad Fonda is the narrator. He hates most the people in those states. JS

Just think, because of the advancements in technology, people's need to get to a destination while keeping their eyes closed along the journey, and or the government's all around need to just spend tax dollars...I80, I94, ect could fall the way of 66 or Lincolns highway. If that were to en, luckily it wouldn't end up destroying whole towns and communities the way many were when expressways were built and took away reasons for travelers to stop in those towns
