- On Route 66
The Copper Cart in Seligman, AZ, opened in 1952 and served meals on Route 66 for about 60 years. The restaurant has since closed, and the building now holds the Route 66 Motoporium, which sells souvenirs and shows off old motorcycles and cars. Its tall Copper Cart sign still stands on the south side of the road, just west of Main Street, so the old name is still on show along the road.

Visiting Copper Cart: tips
It sits right on Route 66, on the south side of the road just west of Main Street, so there is no detour. The sign makes a quick photo stop. Angel & Vilma's Original Route 66 Gift Shop and the Rusty Bolt are both within about 0.1 mile, and Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In is about 0.2 mile away, so park once and walk.
