Cruising Route 66 for a Cause: Classic Cars, Americana, and the Ultimate Road Trip Adventure

This episode follows an inspiring Route 66 road trip that combines classic American car culture with a meaningful mission. Guest host NY Vinnie talks to our guest Monty Belsham about his plans to lead a caravan of 14 vintage vehicles, including his beloved 1953 Hudson Hornet, on a 2,400-mile journey from Kingman, Arizona to Chicago, Illinois along the Mother Road. Along the way, the travelers will experience the iconic roadside attractions, neon-lit landmarks, and small-town charm that have made Route 66 a legendary road trip destination. The journey also serves a greater purpose by raising awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease research through Drive Toward a Cure. Blending Americana, automotive history, friendship, and philanthropy, the episode captures the spirit of the open road and celebrates why Route 66 remains one of the world’s most memorable travel experiences.
