Cars on the Route

"This place is so cute!! It has different cars and pictures you can take photos if your a sight seeker. Cars are antiques and the stores are old. The cars look like from the movie "Cars". Make sure to check out the gift shop Texaco. She has t-shirts and souvenirs for Rt. 66."

"Such a great Route 66 stop. Loved seeing the original inspiration for Tow Mater. The owner was so sweet and told us great stories about Galena’s involvement in the Cars movie. She also gave my son a Lightning McQueen ornament. Worth the stop!"

"Card on the Road: A Superb Retro Gem on Route 66!** Traveling along the iconic Route 66 with family and friends, we stumbled upon an absolute marvel: Card on the Road. This old-school gas station and restaurant is far more than just a place to refuel; it's a journey back in time and a true hidden treasure. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted with exceptional warmth. The staff, composed of incredibly motivated young people, welcomed us with smiles and a kindness that instantly made us feel at home. They passionately shared the history of the place, that of a former owner who has left her mark. But the surprises didn't end there! We discovered "Tow Mater," a peculiar truck reminiscent of the one from the movie "Cars," which walks backward! It's a genuine curiosity that fascinated everyone, young and old. To top it all off, they gifted us all t-shirts, a detail that deeply touched us. Here's a photo of our full crew, proudly wearing our new shirts! Furthermore, the restaurant itself is a clean, fresh space with impeccable service. Every dish was a delight, and the ambiance transported us to a golden era. If you're driving Route 66, you absolutely cannot miss the opportunity to stop at Card on the Road. It's a unique experience that combines history, endearing characters, and excellent food. Without a doubt, one of the most special moments of our trip!"

"Cute stop on route 66. We first parked near the route 66 sign. Then we drove down through town to visit the Cars Gas Station. Inside the gas station, the family were great. The woman told us the story how Mater became apart of the Cars Story. We enjoyed a quick lunch, chicken nuggets, tot, and fries. They were good. Around the corner from there are more picture opportunities. Great stop for anyone that enjoys supporting local business and/or loves the Car Movies"

"Super fun attraction!! Brought my family and my son was so excited for everything! They also have a small dinner in the O-Tex station! So cute and the people they're are so kind! Definitely recommend going!"
