Two Kobelco booths, N-1311 in the North Hall for excavators and G-134 in the Gold Lot outside for crawler cranes, will be built to reflect the era and mark the 75th anniversary year of Route 66. The "Old Route" was the first cross-country highway to carry travelers and commerce from Chicago, IL, to the West Coast and back. More than 2,200 miles long, the "Mother Road" touched the lives of thousands of families, travelers, roadside businesses, automakers and even gasoline manufacturers.

The national highway system was born from Route 66, as was the truck stop, the full-service gas station and the adventurous "road trip" that promised to deliver new experiences across the vast western United States.
