This world famous landmark on Old Route 66 is not wheelchair accessible—the interior is just too jam packed with automotive memorabilia—but it's still worth a visit for the photo op. On view outside are colorful, old fashioned gas pumps, period vehicles and, of course, the building itself, a blue and white porcelain panel "icebox" station. If you're lucky, the equally colorful Bill Shea, who first opened a gas station here more than 50 years ago, will be on hand for a chat. A Route 66 treasure that is accessible is the Cozy Dog Drive-In, virtually a museum in itself. It is listed under Restaurants—Southeast.
