Route 66 paper plate

This set of eight 9” paper plates with its image of a Route 66 red, white and blue neon sign on black, is an appropriate special touch or gift for a 20s, 40s, and 60s decade party! U.S. Route 66 (also known as the Will Rogers Highway after the humorist, and colloquially known as the "Main Street of America" or the "Mother Road") was a highway within the U.S. Highway System. One of the original U.S. highways, Route 66 was established in November 1926-with road signs erected the following year. It was recognized in popular culture by both a hit song originally recorded by the Nat King Cole Trio in 1946, and the Route 66 television show in the 1960s. See matching candy jar, espresso cup, flask, pitcher, shot glass, teapot and coasters. See the entire Psychedelic 60s Plate collection in the FOOD/BEV | Dishes section.
