Yep, they don't make cars like that anymore. Now a days they are all ugly, small windows, sloped back, ugly headlights - most just want to make you barf; they're so ugly. Now give me one of those olde cars with style and I'll be happy What a wonderful place to stop by - bet Andrew n TM were happy :)
glad you are sharing your adventures, this is one i would like to see in person. i love the trucks and the old cash register with them... and eating 50s style is my thing since i used to do that for real.
Looks like you are having a great trip. Doesn't it just seem like yesterday when the highways and biways were filled with those now vintage models? Where does the time go?
Awesome ! I love vintage cars and trucks . They don't build them like that any more that's for sure ! Glad you had a nice time there reminiscing of the old days ! Nice photos ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good day !
Looks like a worthwhile stop along the way. I love nostalgia of any kind. And I love a good burger, too!

Russell's was a wonderful stop...a free museum with a cafe and gas station all in one spot on the famous old Route 66. Not a planned stop but rather just one of those accidental surprises along the way.
lots of memories for us old folks

And a great place to eat 50's style.

Oh wow, that is so cool. I couldn't normally care less about cars but there is something about the vintage ones I fall in love with.
