The Route 66 Car Monuments in Barstow, California, bring a dash of nostalgia to the town’s business corridor. Installed as part of the “Barstow Beautiful” project, these eye-catching tributes celebrate the spirit of the Mother Road and the classic cars that once cruised it.

Each of the nine monuments features a different vintage car model from the 1950s through the 1970s. The eight original monuments represent the eight states along Route 66, arranged in order from Illinois to California. A ninth monument (a bonus bus) sits outside Victor Valley Transit.

The cars rest atop seven-foot-tall stone columns marked with “BARSTOW,” each fitted with a custom “ROUTE 66” California license plate. Beside every monument, curved red metal signs highlight the Route 66 shield along with the state name and outline that monument represents.

Created by Turner Signs and Graphics, the monuments first appeared in 2017 and quickly became a colorful reminder of Route 66’s timeless charm.

The Route 66 Car Monument representing Kansas stands at 1305 East Main Street in Barstow, right in front of Wienerschnitzel. The tribute is topped with a classic Oldsmobile 442 in a shiny blue color, ready to take a turn down the Mother Road.
