Historic Route 66 ~ Two Guns, Arizona T-Shirt

For those who appreciate a rusty texture here is a tee shirt to share your sentiment. The text is designed from a close up photograph of black rusty metal patina background with oval Old Historic Route 66, Arizona design. The Arizona location on this sticker is one of many along "Historic US Route 66". Known as "Main Street of America"and the Mother Road, US Route 66 was one of the original US highways. The highway connected Chicago to Los Angeles through eight states (including Illinois and California). The highway was established in 1926 the year U.S. numbered highways came into existence and it was officially removed from the US Highway System in 1985 after having been replaced by the Interstate Highway System. Arizona established segments of the road as a National Scenic Byway (NSB) with the name “Historic US Route 66” in 2005. The US Department of Transportation recognizes a NSB for its archeological, cultural, historic, natural, recreational, and/or scenic qualities.
