JC, thanks for the trip down Route 66. the show was a favorite of my family's, and my parents took us across the whole journey in a mad dash to see how many states we could visit in one trip. It was a blur, but it was an adventure!
Indeed, the show Route 66 made its way to Maine in my youth, where Buz and Tod somehow got involved in lobster fishing -- some sort of local dispute being the normal scenario -- and the star of that show, for all of us in the Maine fishing industry, was the brand new lobsterboat owned by William "Billy" Floyd, built in Jonesport, Maine, by legendary boatbuilder Harold Gower, that the producers contracted for the show. Big excitement on the waterfront. That boat was still being used commercially in the mid-2010s, and may still be in use.
