Route 66 100 Years
Historic Road Trip of the Mother Road
A new documentary on YouTube is bringing the spirit of America’s Mother Road back to life in a way audiences have never seen before. Traveling the full historic route of Route 66, filmmaker Rich Sumner captured present-day locations and seamlessly transformed vintage postcards from the same destinations into living, animated moments from the past using current AI tools.
Blending modern road-trip cinematography with restored archival artwork, the film creates a stunning time-travel experience, allowing viewers to witness historic diners, neon signs, motels, and forgotten roadside landmarks reawaken before their eyes.
The documentary offers a fresh and emotional journey through America’s most iconic highway, merging nostalgia, technology, and storytelling to preserve the disappearing history of Route 66 for a new generation.
