GC 432 Ashfork

Much of Route 66 was “paved over” in this section, so the only currently available option is I-40.  About 20 miles down the road, the town of Ashfork has a short section of the old road (going through downtown) and its most famous landmark is the 1958 deSoto parked atop an old gas station, now re-purposed as a beauty salon.
