Coolest motel ever & that clerk is like the Jeff’s of motels! He knows everything about the town

Pretty cool right @Gary?!? That guys is awesome and he knew all the cool local stuff. I'm glad you like the video!!

@@jeffthisted yes it is! I gotta drive rte 66 (on my bucket list)

[@jeffthisted]

You’ve definitely gotta get out there and drive it @Gary buddy!! But until then you can keep on checking out my videos.

Hey Jeff, love the '55.I just watched a show on HGTV last night and they did a revamp on some of the Motel.It must have been quite recent as they cleaned out the office clutter and redid a lot of the front facade. I will be watching more of your videos.

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks so much Garden!! What show was it??

[@396M21]

@@jeffthisted It was called Motel Rescue.

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks @@396M21 I’ll keep a look out for it.

That hotel manager/owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. I love how these older hotels have done some theming to them; I stayed in an older Route 66 hotel in Winslow in 2018 that was decked out like that as “The Beatles” room. Keep on truckin!

[@jeffthisted]

He sure was helpful right @Adventures?!? I love how the entire city of Kingman has embraced their Route 66 heritage!!

[@adventuresintvland]

@@jeffthisted It was a fun little place. Many towns along Route 66 are doing that now.

I stayed there earlier this year. Owner was very weird but he told me where to go for history in Kingman.

[@jeffthisted]

Pretty cool right @HistoricallyMarked ?!? Where’d you go for history in Kingman? And what’d you think of the video??

[@HistoricallyMarked]

@@jeffthisted I liked it. Pretty much what the guy recommended like he did for you (the place where Clark Gable and Carole Lombard got married), the Route 66 Museum at the Powerhouse, the train park across the street from it plus Kingman Park. Had lunch and dinner at Mr. Dz and that DamBar (walked to it from the motel...highly recommend!)

[@mikemurphy2764]

I've eaten at Mr. D'S a couple of times. Pretty good. Kingman is a neat town.

[@jeffthisted]

Gotta love Kingman right @Mike Murphy?!? What’d you think of the video??

[@mikemurphy2764]

@@jeffthisted really enjoyed it. Like your videos a lot. My ride is a 64 GTO convertible ( tribute). I would like to road trip with it but, the gas would make me broke.

[@haffrods7055]

Jeff, I'm enjoying the videos. Especially driving a 55 Chevy. You're almost to 1000 subs. Do you have the watch hours? Once you get monetized, the videos have to be at least 8 minutes long to be eligible for monetization. Longer videos will get you more watch hours. Just trying to help with info. Just stuff I learned having my small car channel where I'm building two 55 Chevys. I'd like to see you make a pass at the filming location of Paradise Road in A.G.. Is that spot still out of town or is it built up since the movie?

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks so much for the info @Haff Rods!! I didn't know that the videos have to be at least 8 minutes long to be eligible for monetization. I really appreciate it!! Check out my American Graffiti Paradise Road video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/immVq4ynr7WIeNE Lemme know what you think of the video!!

[@haffrods7055]

@@jeffthisted I subbed earlier Jeff so I got lots of your vids to watch. I should have went through them before opening my mouth. Lol. So after monetization, the videos should be 8 mins minimum before you can get paid for ads. I contacted several of my car buds to check out your channel. Your wagon is awesome man. I love that you actually drive it.

[@jeffthisted]

Thank you so much for the kind words@@haffrods7055 !! And thanks for subscribing to my channel - I'll subscribe to yours too. I put over 21,000 miles, 19 states and 10 National Parks on it from June 2nd to November 21st. And I'll be doing a bunch of videos on my Roadster Shop chassis swap starting in January. Thanks again!!

Yes @sussi I stayed in the Marilyn Monroe suite. I still need to try the Dambar steel house and Mr. D’s Diner.

@@jeffthisted wats the time by you now here is it 15.45 🙂 i have seen a little car in the office is it like yours or ?

[@jeffthisted]

You've got good eyes@@sussijensen6977 !! I didn't notice it until someone else pointed it out to me. It's a 1955 Nomad. It's a 2-door station wagon but it's not like mine. Mine is a 210. I've got a video on how to tell 'em apart. Let me know if you'd like the link to the video

[@markvanleeuwen6678]

Kingmanite here. locals avoid the Dambar, a pricey mediocre meal every time. Drive 45 min to boulder city to foxes smokehouse. get the burnt ends- your welcome. Mr ds is hit or miss sometimes, but generally good and worth a stop. Pancho villas for a burrito.

[@jeffthisted]

Thanks for the local food scene review @markvanleeuwen6678 I usually go to Rickety Cricket for a pizza & beers.
