Angel & Vilma's Original Route 66 Gift Shop

Arizona


Seligman is a town that takes its Route 66 heritage seriously, thanks to the octogenarian Angel ('Angel of Route 66'), his wife Vilma, and his late, lamented brother Juan. Angel and Vilma run this barber and souvenir shop, and though Angel rarely cuts hair anymore, if he's around, he’s usually happy to regale you with stories about the Dust Bowl era.

While there, you can poke around for souvenirs and admire license plates sent in by fans from all over the world.
