30 Bizarre and Brilliant Stops Along America’s Route 66

29. Cars on the Route (Galena, KS)

Fans of Pixar's Cars will feel right at home in Galena, Kansas. This former Kan-O-Tex service station has been lovingly transformed into "Cars on the Route," celebrating the town's connection to the movie (the rusty tow truck outside inspired the character Tow Mater). Pose with Mater and other Cars-themed vehicles, browse the souvenirs inside the restored station, and enjoy the small-town charm. It’s a delightful stop that bridges Route 66 history with modern pop culture, especially fun for families.
