Description
ONE MAN'S TREASURE ON HISTORIC ROUTE 66 by PRISCILLA BURGERS
This Chevrolet Apache 36 displays the sticker, "U Toucha My Truck - I BREAKA U FACE" below the driver's door. This treasure of a truck can be seen parked below the decaying Ranch House Cafe sign in Tucumcari, New Mexico. The old Ranch House Cafe was opened in 1953 by Pearl and Dugan Barnett. Thier slogan of "Good Food Always - Always Good Food" was not enough to keep the cafe open on the Mother Road. Tucumcari was once an important stopover on Route 66. Huge signs encouraged weary travelers to make their temporary destination "Tucumcari Tonite," but today, only a fraction of the "2,000 rooms" and cafes advertised on the old billboards still exist.
The Fine Art America logo will not appear on your finished product.
