Route 66 — When Neon Ruled the American Highway
Picture an evening along America's Mother Road in 1940.
The sun was setting, the highways were busy with travelers, and the great neon signs of America's automobile dealerships were coming to life.
Imagine a Buick showroom glowing beneath its towering blue-and-white neon sign. Behind the glass sat a beautiful new Buick Special, its chrome sparkling under the showroom lights. A salesman in a fedora greeted customers while mechanics prepared another Buick for the open road.
From Chicago to California, signs like this became landmarks of American progress, prosperity, and the freedom of the automobile.
Most of those dealerships have disappeared, and countless original neon signs were lost with them.
The automobiles became classics. Route 66 became legend. And this original Buick sign still shines.

Authentic. Historically Preserved. Museum Restored.
