Today in the virtual diner that is Coffee With Jim we had a lively conversation about time machines, the illusion of time travel, Edsel Ford, the allure of the lowly Model A Ford, and the magic that is a road trip on Route 66 with Jackie Dunn of the Tulsa Model A Ford Club. And we talked about getting a younger generation hooked on the Model A and the great American road trip.
Next week on Coffee With Jim, we will be visiting with Debyjo Ericksen, Teri Ryburn, and Cheryl Eichar Jett, organizers of the annual Miles of Possibility 66 Conference. This one of a kind event blends the business of Route 66 with the fun that people expect when sharing adventure on this storied highway.
Today's program is made possible by supporters of Jim Hinckley's America on Patreon. It is also made possible by the time capsule Roadrunner Inn Motel, Gilligan's Route 66 Tours, Cactus Inn Motel, RouteTrip USA, Deana Nelson State Farm Insurance, Two Lane America, and the iconic Wagon Wheel Motel.

Muffler men. The surprising history of miniature golf and it's connection to Rock City. A giant roadside duck. Politically incorrect roadside architecture. A motel drive in theater combination. South of The Border. A house shaped like a shoe with an ice cream parlor in the sole.
On this special episode of Coffee With Jim, the weekly podcast from Jim Hinckley's America, author and humorist Jim Hinckley shares the story of iconic and obscure road side attractions. It's road trip inspiration of epic proportions!
Next week on Coffee With Jim we will be talking time machines and time travel with Jackie Dunn of the Tulsa Model A Ford Club. An old two lane highway, a Model A Ford, a Sunday afternoon drive to the diner for dinner. It's as close to time travel as we can get!
