Route 66 Postcards: Greetings From The Mother Road

by Michael Wallis, Suzanne Wallis

Before the advent of frequent-flier miles, eight-lane interstate highways, and cellular telephones, dream vacations took place on America's highways, and no road was greater than Route 66...Then, postcards respresented not only a form of communication, but also a way of telling your friends and family that you had, believe it or not, been there.
