A new exhibit makes its way to Route 66 in Galena

On Thursday Route 66 celebrated its 95th birthday, and today, almost like a birthday present, a new set of wheels was revealed in Southeast Kansas. The Kansas Historic Route 66 Association, unveiled its newest addition to Luigi’s Pit Stop, a replica of the movie Cars main character Lightning McQueen. The exhibit is located on East Front Street in Galena, and features other replicas and paintings from the Cars franchise. The Cars character Tow Mater was inspired after members of Pixar were driving through Kansas and noticed a boom truck at what would eventually become Cars on the Route.
