Description: Arizona US 66 guide sign. Up for sale today is this Arizona US 66 guide sign with destinations of Needles, Barstow, and Los Angeles - all in California. Made to the exact 1950s state standard as used on the Mother Road and elsewhere in the state. This exact sign stood on the far side of Kingman on the new road that opened in 1953 that was renumbered to interstate 40 in 1957. This new road replaced the old and dangerous Sitgreaves Pass route through Oatman. Route 66 needs no introduction - it's been the historic Mother Road, from John Steinbeck to Bobby Troup, and has arguably become even more famous since its formal decommissioning between 1964 and 1985. 66 has become the ultimate lost highway, the road trip that everyone takes... "Get your kicks, on route 66!" - Bobby Troup This is a non-reflective sign, printed on steel, with completely accurate layout and fonts. It is a faithful rescaling of the original 54 by 24 inch sign down to a much more wieldy 27 by 12 inches. It weighs about 8 pounds 4 ounces. (If you would like a different size version, please see my other auctions.) This is a high quality, durable sign made of heavy steel. Accept no imitations that may be one-third this price, but are one-tenth the quality. No cheap tin to be found here, with the wrong fonts, layouts, size, shape, or any other manner of embarrassing imperfection. This one will make even the most discerning collector stick their nose into the sign, as it looks that good from that close! "Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino..." - Bobby Troup I can of course make these signs with any route number of your choice, and not just this style, but older and newer ones, and even the classic mileage, direction, and city limit guide signs from the era. Anything you would like, made with unsurpassed quality right here in the good old US of A. "Life doesn't happen along the interstates. It's against the law." - Charles Kuralt Figure about 10 pounds for shipping, packed with care and mailed from zip code 61833. Thank you for your purchase!
