Along66, Jan. 2022: That Neat Old Ozark Court Motel Sign to Be In an Exhibit! Car Rental 'Price Shock!'

JANUARY 14

Ozark Court Motel sign to be restored and planned for a Route 66 exhibit in 2025.  Right before the Centennial!!

It was originally in St. Clair, Missouri but disappeared from Route 66 twenty years ago.

A collector has procured it and plans to include it in a Route 66 exhibit at the National Museum of Transportation in St. Louis n 2025.

The motel dated to the 1930s.  The sign was made in 1952 and was rescued in 2002 by a collector, but presently owned by  Greg Rhomberg who acquired it in 2021 and plans to restore it.

Well, at least the sign has turned up again and we can all get a chance to see it.  Thank  you Mr. Rhomberg.  I don't remember if we saw it when it was still up.

JANUARY 20 

If you plan on renting a vehicle of any sort to drive Route 66 this year, be prepared for "price shock!!"

Car rental prices are WAY UP!1  Rental of an SUV for two weeks, one-way was $1,800.  Today it is $5,500.

We've got to find whoever is making all this profit and relieve them of their ill-got gains.
