Hi-Way Cafe near Vinita breaks world record for most stickers on a car

The Hi-Way Cafe near Vinita, Oklahoma, on Saturday set a Guinness world record for applying 66,066 stickers on a car.

That broke the old record of 41,500. The bid was part of Mobil 1’s “Keep Route 66 Kickin'” campaign.

According to a story by a Tulsa TV station KJRH, the Route 66 restaurant chose a 1963 American Rambler vehicle for the project. That also was the year the restaurant opened.

Though those 66,000 stickers are not obvious, each was a tiny square applied by volunteers that essentially became a mosaic.

Mike Marcotte is an adjudicator for Guinness World Records. He said the record took a lot of time.

“They had over 100 people putting on at least one sticker and we had some people that put in 24 plus, maybe 30, hours putting stickers on over the course of the last week, 66,000 stickers, that takes a lot of time to put into this car,” he said.

“This car is going to be a permanent home here in Vinita which is just really exciting, I know they have talked about heat wrapping to the car so that these stickers aren’t going to come off,” he also said.

The Oklahoma Route 66 Association posted this video of the car’s unveiling:
