From I-40 exit 139, just west of Ash Fork, a very nice section of the old Route 66 two-lane runs along the railroad tracks just north of, and parallel to, the I-40 freeway all the way to the sleep little town of Seligman. One of best places to stop and get a feel for the spirit of old Route 66, Seligman pronounced “SLIG-man”. The town retains a lot of its historic character—old sidewalk awnings and even a few hitching rails—and offers lots of reasons to stop. Coming into Seligman on this stretch of Route 66, you’ll be greeted by The Rusty Bolt, a fantastic junk shop and oddball emporium that’s impossible to miss along the north side of the old highway. A pilgrimage point for old-roads fans for decades, Angel Delgadillo’s barber shop now hosts the Route 66 Gift Shop and Museum
