Route 66 New Mexico Merch

Artist illustration of a watercolor I painted captures the iconic Muffler man statue towering above Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. With its towering metallic frame and wide stance, the statue stands tall against the open, sweeping landscape. In the watercolor, the dusty earth tones of the desert landscape and the vivid blue of the sky perfectly complement the vibrant red and yellow colors of the statue, bringing the scene to life. It's a snapshot of the quintessential American west, frozen in time on paper.

If you travelled Route 66 between Amarillo, Texas and Albuquerque, New Mexico at some point between 1949 and 2000, you probably at least thought about pulling off at the Westerner Drive-Inn in Tucumcari, New Mexico. Located at 1001 West Route 66 Boulevard, it was the only thing around on this particular stretch and was pretty hard to miss, and frequent travelers have undoubtedly knew it was the place to get a great meal. Operating as an old school drive in for just over five decades, the Westerner specialized in big burgers, golden fries, and traditional sodas, even offering a full breakfast menu to weary travelers.

Seeing these gas station attendant caps was a huge throw back in time for me. I remember the attendants dressed in uniforms with button shirts, caps and some even wore bow-ties in the very early days! Not to mention they would check your oil, water levels and wash the windshield! But in these current days the majority of gas stations are self-service with the full service the exception rather than the rule in most USA states. While traveling through Oregon a few years back, we noticed there were no self-service stations and the same for New Jersey; customers are not allowed to fill their own tanks in these two states. The caps were just some of the gas memorabilia inside the Classical Gas Museum located in Embudo, NM. ©Deb...
