Here’s a find: film footage of Route 66 during the 1950s. You’ll see a lot of stuff that’s changed or gone in those two minutes.
It’s owned by FootageWorld.com, which specializes in stock footage for license for telecasts, film and the like.
More footage can be seen here (QuickTime is required to view).
It’s a fun site to surf around and see a lot of vintage material.
UPDATE: An e-mail from David Fishbein at FootageWorld.com informs me that the total Route 66 footage is 13 minutes.
Great! Wish I could have a couple of those cars I saw. Would sure be fun to cruise The Road in one of those.
