One of the most brilliant dramas to emerge from the '60s, Route 66 was famous for its catchy Nelson Riddle theme song, intriguing characters, top-drawer writing and stellar guest star appearances. The original "road trip" drama, this classic television series was one of the most highly rated of the era, also establishing the Corvette as an American icon. With Martin Milner and George Maharis at the wheel, and a new adventure around every corner, come along for the ride and get your kicks on Route 66!
Roxbury Entertainment and distributor Infinity Entertainment Group are preparing a pair of DVD releases for
Route 66, both hitting the gas on
