Time to Rendezvous!

September 18, 2008

This year will be the 19th year for the Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous in downtown San Bernardino, California. Starting today you can register your vehicle at the Carousal Mall. There will be wonderful classic automobiles that have been lovingly restored which will be on display and which will line up for the "cruisin" parade at 6:30 p.m. this evening. The weekend will be filled with fun activities and musical presentations and lots and lots of cars.

Bake in the 1940s and 1950s, Route 66 was the main road from Chicago to Santa Monica. The song, "Get Your Kicks on Route 66" was written by Bobby Troup after his long drive west on Route 66. The song actually begins the drive from St. Louis and ends in San Bernardino, but that is probably because that was Bobby Troup's drive in 1946. Nat King Cole actually recorded the song and it became a national hit.
