NORTH CENTRAL ARIZONA PIT STOP: REVEL IN ROUTE 66 KITSCH IN SELIGMAN Ever wish you could experience the carefree days of classic Route 66 travel? If so, Seligman awaits! BY ELIZABETH EXLINE Angel & Vilma Delgadillo’s Original Route 66 Gift Shop, Seligman Seligman may just be the ultimate underdog story. This once thriving town was consigned to oblivion with the opening of Interstate 40. But rather than fade into the background, the town reinvented itself as a colorful, outsized destination where classic cars, retro signage and a host of throwback restaurants and shops await discovery. Start your adventure with a bite at one of the city’s best-loved restaurants. Delgadillo’s Snow Cap serves up “dead chicken,” “oink burgers” and ice cream with a side of joviality that has made the place a local legend. Or, stop by Route 66 Roadrunner , a dealership-turned-restaurant that invites you to browse local art, American Indian goods and Americana after a pizza lunch. Feeling extra brave? Then order a buffalo burger or an order of “fender tenders” at The Roadkill Café/O.K. Saloon . Before you go, pick up a souvenir at the Rusty Bolt , which offers leather goods and handmade jewelry, or at the family-owned Angel & Vilma Delgadillo’s Original Route 66 Gift Shop , which specializes in Route 66-themed gifts.
