How this season is filed

Filed by Rex Fontaine · Golden Age Dispatch

Route 66 put two young men and a Corvette on actual American pavement, shooting drama on location when most series never left the lot. Martin Milner and George Maharis (later Glenn Corbett) wander into local stories like a traveling anthology. Highway as character and Chevrolet-as-myth mood — freedom even when the hour turns earnest.
