Join the Packard Proving Grounds Historical Speaker Series for Route 66: The Mother Road in a ’57 Chevy with automotive engineer and former industry executive Bob Feldmaier.

In recent years, Feldmaier and his son traveled the full length of historic Route 66 from Illinois to California in a classic 1957 Chevrolet. Along the way, they encountered the vintage motels, roadside diners, fading neon signs and unique attractions that have made Route 66 one of America's most beloved highways.
