For those that would be coming from the north on Rt66, there is a little town
called Dwight. Right on a 4 way stop on 66 and 17 there is a old service station
that has been restored. Its a cool place for some pictures. Then once in Pontiac
at the Rt 66 Museum the have one of ( or THE ) the largest Rt66 murals and
you can park in front of for another cool picture.

Thats an old Shell station if my memory is correct. But it may be in Odel which is the next town over and just off original RTE 66 pavement. Last time we were there we lined up about 20 GTO's in front of it and took pics.

Heres a couple of pics. We had to go to the local airport because a few required racing fuel and it was the only place to get it.
