It was that time of the year again, a time when anyone with a Vette who was within driving distance to SoCal got gussied up and headed down the road to the annual Route 66 Rendezvous held on September 18-21, 2003 in San Bernardino, California.
Route 66, a four-day event packed with food, fun, and cars-a-plenty, seems to get bigger every year. And just like last year's show, this one outshined the previous one in just about every way. With several rolls of film shot, the hard decision of which pictures to use and which ones to lose drew near. Who caught our eye? Read on! And remember, the annual Route 66 show is held rain or shine during the third week of September-the 16-19th for 2004.
