Sadly, many old businesses lost out to the new interstate. There are a lot of reminders in the town such as run down buildings and old forgotten cars and trucks. At the same time, well kept old cars, taxis and trucks from the 50’s and 60’s era are parked on the road to add to the feeling of how it used to be. This could be a smorgesbord for fans of old timers.
One gift shop, The Rusty Bot cannot be missed in Seligman. The mannequins add to the flair of the store, which is in the style of Harley Davidson.
While in Seligman, it was obvious that the town was once part of this historical street. Practically every shop, hotel or restraraunt had Route 66 signs and a few shops were dedicated to the street, offering souvenirs and such. Some more than others. When driving west out of Seligman, you gett the feeling you expect to see on the Route 66. A long stretch of highway with a feeling of freedom and vastness. A funny experience on this stretch of highway are the billboard signs for Burma Shaving Cream. These are lined up in groups of 4 and each group has an amusing rhyme for the product.
