Cruising Route 66 in a classic car is one of the worlds great road trips. Since I do not have a classic car I did the next best thing and attended the Route 66 Car Show in Flagstaff Arizona.
Classic Chevy in Flagstaff
Classic Buick Coupe
The event takes place every year during September and is one of my favorite events to attend in Flagstaff.
Custom Yellow Taxi
The show takes place in the Historic Downtown area of Flagstaff. The streets are closed off and are filled with car owners and car lovers checking out all the amazing automobiles on display.
Classic Ford Thunderbird
The show allows any type of car to register for the event which means that you will see anything from a custom Ford Model T to something a little more modern.
Jail Bird Express
Rat Rod
Back to the Future Delorean
There are plenty of interesting shops and good restaurants in the area to keep you busy when you are not checking out the cars.
Studebaker Continental
Chevrolet Impala
Classic Chevrolet Truck
I recommend checking out the Route 66 Car Show if you like classic cars or are in the area.

January 26, 2014 at 4:06 PMMost of the cars pictured are about 50-60 years old. I love that people restore and maintain these cars for future generations to enjoy.

January 26, 2014 at 4:42 PMOooh! I will have to tell my dad about this! I practically grew up at classic car shows! We own a ’56 Belair sport coupe and we used to own a corvette! I could hula-hoop and rock a poodle skirt and saddle shoes like one else! Still to this day, I visit classic car shows with my dad, so this is one we may have to check out one year! 🙂 Thanks for sharing!

January 27, 2014 at 1:23 PMGreat cars! When I was traveling in West Coast back in 2010 I was lucky enough to see a similar show in one of the small towns we just stopped for coffee! Impressive!
