Description

As traffic increased on the famous US Route 66, it became evident that there was a need to upgrade the highway. These upgrades came in the form of the Interstate Highway System, with Interstate 40 slated to replace US 66 through Arizona. By the 1980s, I-40 was complete, making the US 66 designation redundant to that of the new highway. Accordingly, the states which US 66 passed through requested the retirement of the designation, which was granted in 1985. However, two brothers, business owners in Seligman, lamented the loss of the old highway and formed the Historic Route 66 Association of Arizona. The association began lobbying the state government to recognize the historic nature of US 66. In 1987, they were successful, and Route 66 remains an officially-designated historic route to this day.

Our Arizona US 66 Historic Route sign is a replica of signs you’ll find commemorating the old highway all along its route. It includes a prominent Arizona US 66 shield right in its center, in the style used during the earliest days of the highway. The words “HISTORIC ROUTE” appear above and below the route marker. This sign allows you bring your office, bar, man cave, garage, or any other room in the home back in time to the golden age of Route 66 across Arizona!

Our Arizona US 66 Historic Route sign is printed right here in the USA, on heavy 14-gauge steel. Its glossy, non-reflective finish blends well with the decor of any space. It can also endure the elements when installed outdoors, be it the sweltering heat and sun of Kingman or the snowy winters of Flagstaff. We’ve included convenient mounting holes to make installation easy. It’s available in the following sizes:

  • 9.6 in. × 12 in.
  • 16 in. × 20 in.
  • 24 in. × 30 in.
  • 32 in. × 40 in.

We can fully customize this sign, with any state name or route number, or even a totally different type of route marker! Or, if you’re got another road sign in mind that isn’t on our site, we can help with that too! Place a custom order today—just contact us to get started!
