"The Blue Swallow" - Tracey Capone Photography
There are certain towns along Route 66 where it’s like hitting the jackpot when it comes to fun, retro signs. Tucumcari, New Mexico, where today’s Photo of the Day, “The Blue Swallow,” was shot, was no exception. It was a treasure trove of motel and lounge signs and, in this case, even an awesome vintage car.
If you take the Route 66 tour, unless you are a purest and literally want to take the entire stretch of 66 without any diversions, from my own experience, there are a number of towns you can skip by jumping on Route 40. A note, do not skip Tucumcari. I repeat, do not skip it; you won’t be sorry.
Enjoy!

Love vintage signs and this is a great one – gotta love “100% Refrigerated Air”
Yes, I love that! I think I’m going to start referring to AC that way from now on

Perfect setting for a 50′s B movie noir flick…you didn’t see Sterling Hayden and Elisha Cook running around did ya? Love it…
This was definitely my favorite spot of the trip. I agree that it would be the perfect spot for a movie… no movie stars running around though no
