Route 66 Highway Convoy: September 6-15, From Illinois To California

Beginning September 6 in Morris, IL, the American Truck Historical Society will hold its first Historic Highway Convoy. The convoy will follow Route 66, the famous "Mother Road," from Illinois to California. In conjunction with Travel Centers of America, celebrating its 40th Anniversary, daily truck shows will be held at T/A or Petro truck stops at each of the nine locations (Morris, IL; Troy, IL; Joplin, MO; Oklahoma City, OK; Amarillo, TX; Albuquerque, NM; Gallup, NM; Kingman, AZ; and Barstow, CA). Each show will take place from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The convoy vehicles will arrive around 4 p.m. to conclude with an expanded truck show. The convoy will make its final stop on September 15 in conjunction with the Route 66 Rendezvous, the annual automotive event held in San Bernardino, CA.

The event is organized by American Truck Historical Society (ATHS), publisher of Wheels of Time magazine and the largest antique truck club in the United States. Truck enthusiasts are encouraged to register and drive a historic truck along the entire route or a portion of the route. Local truck owners who want to register and show their truck at one or more locations, and anyone wanting to view the trucks at one of the daily shows are also welcomed.
