October 7, 1960 –
Route 66 premiered on this date.
The Corvette was replaced every three thousand miles. Chevrolet was the show’s sponsor. It was never explained how Tod was able to get a new Corvette so often. The Corvette was never red, as often believed. It was light blue in the first season, beige in the second season, and tan in the third season. The colors were chosen because they photographed well in black and white.
