Talk about one heck of an adventure. Here's what the Cruise66.com group is going to do in June:
Cruise66 is the name of a 4 week long cruising event taking place on Historic Route 66 during the month of June 2006. The plan is to ship 15-25 pristine classic American automobiles ranging from 1946-1966 models from their native homes in Norway and drive the 2,448 miles from Chicago to Los Angeles.The cars will be shipped from Gothenburg Sweden in the beginning of May 2006, to reach an on-time departure from Chicago at: 06/06/2006 Closer descriptions of the automobiles and the cruising schedule can be found
under "The Cars " and "The Route" We are very interested in establishing contact with other car and Route 66 enthusiast which we will pass by during our cruise adventure.
Do check out "The Cars" link. There are some seriously good-looking vehicles there, including a rare 1958 Packard Clipper station wagon that should be fully restored shortly.
If you or your group wants to meet the tour's leader, Harry Kjensli, you can e-mail him here to make arrangements.
We saw you at the Hampton Inn, Countryside Illinois on June 3-4 & enjoyed seeing your cars and hearing about your trip. Best wishes and good luck for a wonderful journey. We hope you arrive in California safely with lots of good memories.
