TUCUMCARI, NM - - Remember when cars had fins?? Like this representation of a old Chrysler or DeSoto? We're traveling on I-40, but Route 66 is close by. Where better to have a representation of what a time it was way back when on Route 66. This sculpture is at the Tucumcari Convention Center. Nice building, but after driving thru the town we felt they were hoping somebody would show up as the place was d e a d.And how many tunes can you name with lyrics mentioning Tucumcari and Tonopah, plus Tucson and Tchatchapi (sp??) Dust off the oldies, break out the Dago Red and a little Panama Red to go with it and crank up "The Weight" by The Band or Little Feat's rendition.
Cool sign.

The sign reminds me of retro or old cars that are redone...That's why I love carshow...
