Ride into the Heart of America’s Golden Age of Travel…

Step back in time to an era when the journey was the destination—where adventure called from every bend in the road, and Route 66 was the legendary path that captured the imagination of a generation. This one-of-a-kind hand-carved Highway Drifter figurine is a tribute to the brave, curious souls who chased freedom on foot, thumb raised and heart full of hope.
