Route 66 festival shows growth

The Route 66 Days Festival in Flagstaff, Ariz., started three years ago with just 80 classic cars.

Now, the festival this year expects to have 300 cars, reports the Arizona Daily Sun.

Cars entered in the car show will begin arriving downtown this afternoon. They’ll park overnight in the Wheeler Park parking lot and move downtown early Saturday morning, when a handful of blocks around Heritage Square will be closed to traffic.

“Everything from a 1910 Model A to new cars, Corvettes, PT Cruisers, street rods, restorations, you name it,” Coyle said.

Among the events during the weekend will be a screening of “Cars” on Friday night as part of Movies on the Square. Car show judging is Saturday. The festival closes at 3 p.m. Sunday.
