About This Machine

Route `66 was designed by D. Gottlieb & Company in July 1951 as machine model #53, but according to IPDB records it was never produced. It survives only as a documented design from Gottlieb's active early-1950s development period.

Because the machine never reached production, no confirmed details exist about its specific gameplay mechanics, theme, or artwork. As with other single-player Gottlieb electro-mechanical games of the era, it would have used a standard configuration of flippers, bumpers, and switches.

Route `66 is of interest today primarily as a record of a planned Gottlieb model that never made it to market, offering a small glimpse into the company's design output during the early 1950s.
