Description
Car tail lights streak past in this night shot of the 66 Diner aglow with colorful neon on Route 66 AKA Central Avenue in Alburquerque, New Mexico.
The 66 Diner was originally Sam’s Sixty-Six Service Station, a Phillip’s 66 gas station, constructed in 1946.
In 1987, the building was converted into a diner. The renovation kept much of the original building with its Streamline Moderne design elements intact. The clean, curvy lines, glass block corner windows, and neon trim are all original to Sam’s Sixty-Six. Even the hydraulic lift that was once in Sam’s Garage is still here, reinvented as the restaurant’s hopscotch court!
This perfect piece of 1950s roadside architecture really comes to life at night when lit!
