Route 66 was the name of a CBS TV show from the early sixties which had little to do with the actual road, but had everything to do with driving across America and seeing its unfamiliar parts. Those who saw it remember it fondly as a quality dramatic series which captured the spirit of mid-twentieth century travel.
Among the future TV and film stars who appeared on the show included the late Robert Duvall.
