The Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue featuring Route 66 was published almost a year ago, but this video I haven’t seen made its way to YouTube a couple of days ago.
You’ll see a lot of Route 66 landmarks, and plenty of footage of the late Gary Turner, owner of Gay Parita gas station west of Halltown, Missouri. I’ve heard him tell that joke before, but it never fails to get a laugh.
Turner died on Jan. 23, just months after the Sports Illustrated crew visited his site.
