Taking a T-Bird west

The Panama City (Fla.) News Herald posted an interesting story about Johnny and Judy Bunch driving their restored 1956 Ford Thunderbird on Route 66.

The story is good, but the video is better — mainly because you can see that beautiful car.

The other interesting part is this excerpt:

Although tourism is the main draw in Vegas, parts of Route 66 still hold its own, according to Jan Davis, the Director of Operations for the Association of Arizona. The little towns, cafes and diners along Route 66 in Arizona welcome 100,000 people a year, Davis said.

That’s one of the few times I’ve seen actual tourist numbers assigned to Route 66. Fairly impressive, if the 100,000 figure is true.
