Our intern Jackson (big car buff) has put together a list of what is generally considered the top 5 American cars of each decade of the Route 66 era. We know there will be a lot of opinions, but please check the box of your top 2 choices in each decade and feel free to add other makes/models in the other box of each section. We will compile these for our first meeting and congenially discuss 🙂
