Re: Iowa highway 30 in 1959
HOLY SH_T! Can you imaging being perched on that ladder zipping through those girder bridges and meeting Diamond T's pulling a load of hogs heading to market at 60 miles per?
BTW, why does Route 66 get all the attention? US 30 (Lincoln Hwy) and US 6 (the red line across America - as stated by Jack Kerouac in "On the Road") are longer and older! |

Re: Iowa highway 30 in 1959
Cool find! I love all the old gas stations & the car haulers full of Ramblers and Caddilacs. I just realized how long this video was - better hit pause & grab a beer.

Re: Iowa highway 30 in 1959
Cool video! I love driving all the old U.S. Highways. I grew up alongside US 67 "The Broadway of America." You can still find some old relics from the time when 67 was the main road before I-30.
I love to find old road alignments also. |

Re: Iowa highway 30 in 1959
You can still drive that section of road. They restored that gas station and restaurant by Colo and its cool !! Maybe if I get a chance this summer I can go reshoot the video.

Re: Iowa highway 30 in 1959
I am enjoying watching it as I am old enough that I can remember when there were still alot of 50s cars still on the road,its almost like I am about 4 years old and watching the scenery through the windshield in my dads 55 Ford.

Re: Iowa highway 30 in 1959
The Tip Top Tavern is still on the North side of Lincoln Way in Ames. Nevada looks about the same today. Lots of these towns are recognizable but today show more than 50 years of aging. Thanks for posting. Cool stuff.

Many of the small towns are almost ghost-like. Without a strong livestock industry with the operations being small, there is not much commerce at the local crossroads. Progress, I guess. |
