On the outskirts of Pontiac, the town that gave its name to the well-known GM automobile brand, is the Old Log Cabin Inn. When a new Route 66 route was being built and it suddenly went past the back of the hotel, the whole house became just that lifted up, turned over and now has the entrance to today's street
Swinging Bridges (suspension bridges over the Vermilion River) in Pontiac
The Route 66 Hall of Fame Museum in Pontiac was originally housed in the Dixie Truckers Home until 2004 when it was moved to a 1900's fire station building. Also included is a vehicle owned by artist and cartographer Bob Waldmire, who traveled Route 66. He was a Route 66 icon until his death in 2009. His Route 66-themed pictures, drawings, and maps are legendary. The VW bus was the basis for "Fillmore" in the animated film "Cars". Also on the street in front of the museum is his converted school bus, which he also used for his travels and as a studio.
