Legendary Route 66
A Journey Through Time Along America's Mother Road
by Michael Witzel
|
|
|
|
|
Get your kicks on Route 66 with this wonderfully illustrated tribute to
the best-loved highway in this car-loving nation. Michael Witzel
shares his expertise and wealth of personal, archive, collector, and
contributing photographer images in these pages, offering a
nostalgic tour of the charms and oddities of this road through
American cultural history. Starting in Chicago and running to Santa
Monica, this book highlights the sights along the highway with
historic and current photos in then-and-now pairings, and includes
Route 66 postcards, road signs, trinkets, maps, brochures, and
advertisements. Here we see Route 66 as it was in its heyday and
as it is now, the neon glamour of yesterday versus the ghost towns of
today. Witzel and his wife, Gyvel Young-Witzel, recount the
highways history, its role in popular culture, and its demise, as well
as the individual stories of famous sights. Several profiles of those
with close ties to the Mother Road, including the woman who played
Ruthie Joad in the The Grapes of Wrath film, are included.

Route 66
More than three decades after Route 66 went by the
wayside, so to speak, it remains a nostalgic signifier of a
50-year period when cross-country travel was synonomous
with meeting interesting characters, absorbing marvelous new
sights, and stopping to check the oil along the way. In this
colorful biopic of the "Mother Road," author Tim Steil retraces
the wandering path of Route 66 from Chicago to Santa
Monica, returning home with a scrapbook of new color
photography and evocative period imagery profiling
businesses and attractions that continue to operate alongside
Route 66 despite the demise of the legendary two-lane. The
result is a unique look at motels, service stations, restaurants,
truck stops, and museums, and the colorful folks who
continue to whittle out a livelihood along Route 66 despite the
death of the road trip as spelled out by the vapor trails
overhead.

Barris Kustom Techniques of the '50s
People are as interesting in painting and customizing now, as
they were when this material was first created, in the 1950s.
Everyone wants to know how to do a flame job, or how to run a
pair of pinstripes straight down the side of their car. In this
book George Barris explains how he and brother Sam did
their custom painting and early flame jobs in the 1950s. No
one can tell this story as well as George Barris, a fine
photographer and the man who built many of the cars shown
in the book. This particular book, Volume 4, contains more
than just the photos and words of George Barris. This volume
contains first-person side-bars by legendary painters and
builders like Dean Jeffries and Larry Watson, describing how
they developed their talents and what it was like to customize
cars in those days.
