75th anniversary of Route 66, America's most famous highway, with a dedicated
destination for everything Route 66, from memorabilia to motors, at
http://www.ebaymotors.com/route66.
    There are more than 1,000 items of Route 66 memorabilia available on eBay,
from books and videos on the highway's history to apparel and souvenirs
commemorating its roadside stops.  Nearly everything imaginable is up for bid,
including gas pump salt & pepper shakers, key chains, motel postcards, die
cast toys and collectible signage from every state the highway crosses.  One
of the rarest items up for bid is Lucille's Gas Station, built in 1927 on
Route 66 near Hydro, Oklahoma, which was owned and run by Lucille Hamons, the
"Mother of the Mother Road," from 1941 to 1997.
    For those who prefer their souvenirs on wheels, the site features hundreds
of cars for cruising the highway in style, from the classic Cadillac DeVille,
Chevy Impala and Mustang convertible to the Corvette, which became closely
identified with the highway thanks to the 1960s "Route 66" television series.
    For those who feel lucky, eBay Motors is featuring the "Route 66 Vintage
Vette Giveaway" with a chance to win a mint condition 1961 Corvette
convertible.  Visitors can register online at
