Me too! Only 1.5 hrs! Good motivation to get the old gal into primer and
new treads.

That museum / area is easily accessed from ether exit from I-55.
There is one on the north end and one more a little south / west.
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.

you are correct on the one in Odell, but there is also one in Dwight.

If any one is going on I 80 by Ottawa, you can take the exit that is Rt23
to Streator. There is one station that sells race fuel 110 for $6./ gal. if needed.
then stay on 23 to Pontiac.
