Thursday the 27th of December, we were eating breakfast at the Route 66 Restaurant in Santa Rosa, NM. I watched two gentlemen walk around and look at the yellow (with black highlights) 1966 Ford Thunderbird sitting in the closest space of the parking lot. I couldn’t help but ask why they were so interested in this iconic Route 66 attraction. Sadly someone mentioned that the old T-bird had been sold and the fellows were trying to figure out how to get it 800 miles back to Texas. That was the last week for the Thunderbird to perch in Santa Rosa. I rushed out to the parking lot to get some shots of it before it was moved to it’s new home. The T-Bird seems to have been there as long as I  can remember. I bet many will miss the yellow Ford parked in the first parking space. It has been a town attraction for lots of years. The good thing is the restaurant is going strong and the food and service was excellent, as usual.
