Route 66 (1960)

A tale of privilege, youthful rebellion, and the search to find oneself and the meaning of life. Only from behind the wheel of a nice new shiny baby blue Corvette.

The year is 1960. The beatniks are in control of New York and the Beatles are years away from landing on American shores. So what do two guys do for fun? Todd Stiles (Martin Milner) is a handsome man in his early twenties who's father has just died, leaving him no money but a really nice ride. So he and his best buddy, Buzz Murdock (George Maharis) fill the tank and head out on what was once called the Mother Road, Route 66, the trans-continental highway that stretched from downtown Chicago to the beaches of Santa Monica, California.

Along the way, they meet the good and not so good people of a great country. The show Route 66 showcases those people and their stories and how Todd and Buzz, and later Lincoln Case (Glenn Corbett) react and interact with them, while silently in the background, there is that sweet looking blue and later brown Corvette.

Filmed in various parts of the U.S., with very little of the show actually filmed on Route 66. Now available on DVD.
