Photo by @onlylivingirlny Father-daughter Route 66 road trip day four: Tucumcari Tonite! My second time here, but my first time seeing it at night (or rather, “nite”). Sitting outside in the pink neon glow of the Blue Swallow is a slice of heaven, 10/10, highly recommend. If I could choose one town to visit in its Mother Road heyday, it would be this one. Even now, it’s officially my favorite place to visit in the U.S. after South of the Border 💙 . We said goodbye to Texas with a long stretch of unpaved 66 (rental car insurance peace of mind for the win) and intend to fill up on green chili sauce and abandoned trading posts until Monday. Still dreaming of owning my own MOTE and diner, and the Blue Swallow is for sale if anyone is interested 👀 . #iamnewmexico #roadtrip #route66 #preserve66 #neon #tucumcari #route66roadtrip #route66neon #motel #motelsign #signgeeks #americana #roadsideamerica #motelsigns #blueswallow #tucumcaritonite #newmexico https://www.instagram.com/p/B34lqSDHIva/?igshid=zg3dg5wii5sv

At Seaba Station in Warwick on Route 66, has a gem inside a gem. On the westside of the building is a original 1920s rock outhouse building, which had at the time a state-of-the-art roadside restroom. Amenities included his and hers cast iron toilets, which conveniently flushed the entire time individuals sat on the rims of the toilets.  Seaba Station, Not only is it a original 1921 Service Station that predates Route 66. It was operational as the Seaba Repair shop until the 1990s. Vintage pumps from 1921 still remain out the front. It is now home to the 🏍Seaba Station Motorcycle Museum🏍 There are over 200 motorcycles of all names dating from the early 1900s to the present. It’s one of the real gem on Route 66 in Oklahoma that people miss 1) Because they try to do Route 66 by jumping on & off of I-44 & I-40 or 2) They just drive by it 🚐🤘🏻👣💪🏻📷🎥🎞🎬📽 #Route66 #RT66 #OklahomaRoute66 #OKRT66 #Route66Roadie #preserve66 #OklahomaRoute66Association #savingplaces #OzarkTrail #Route66Alliance #travel #instatravel #travelgram #ontheroad #whereintheworld #alongroute66 #RouteMagazine @OklahomaRoute66 (at Seaba Station Motorcycle Musuem)

The Hole in the Wall Conoco Station 101 South Main (Route 66) Commerce, OK This is a genuine relic of Route 66, a service station that was built right onto a brick wall in the late 1920s.

It was built between 1929 and 1930 by F. D. Mitchell. It was a Phillips 66 station in 1938 and was later a Beauty Shop. (at Commerce, Oklahoma)
