Buy a T-shirt, Save a Road Yacht!

Now Available!

Our exclusive Bob Waldmire design T-shirts are now available for purchase!

 

The artwork on this very cool T-shirt was created by Route 66 artist and icon, Bob Waldmire, especially for our Association, back in 1989. Now you can wear Bob’s design to show your love of the Mother Road!

This black T-shirt is made of 100% American grown, harvested and spun cotton, is preshrunk and is even sewn in the USA. All profits from the sale will go to the preservation of a most beloved Route 66 treasure, the Bob Waldmire bus, proudly on display behind our Hall of Fame and Museum at 110 W Howard St in Pontiac, IL.

 

As you may know, Bob Waldmire was a faithful conservationist. As our Association Treasurer, Marty Blitstein, says, “Bob was green before green was a color.” In honor of Bob’s dedication to the environment, it is our desire to install solar panels on the bus. Routine maintenance and an update to the bus’ weatherization are also planned with profits from T-shirt sales.

Donations Fuel Our Mission!

Your donation to our Association helps support our efforts to preserve, promote, educate and enjoy Route 66 in Illinois. We are a volunteer organization; 100% of donations are allocated to preservation efforts along the Mother Road in Illinois (never to administrative or housekeeping expenses). We thank you for your generous donation toward maintaining our nostalgic slice of Americana.


The Allure of the Mother Road

Listen to Association member, Route 66 expert and author, John Weiss, describe the allure of the Mother Road. What makes Route 66 a treasure worth preserving? John explains it all.
