Gary's Gay Parita Sinclair Station
I think that is a Hudson on the left.
"Corvair Corner" is just across the side street. I did not know that Corvair made a station wagon.

Going through Route 66 pictures from 2023. Can anyone identify this bridge, please and thank you!
Andy Wegener: Johnson Creek Bridge near Spencer Station and just minutes from Gary's Gay Parita. Stephanie Cramer: That’s out historic Johnson Creek Bridge just down the road from our Spencer Station - Route 66! We cherish this historical bridge ❤️ Resa Harbison Bridges: Talked to the owner of the station there. He is restoring it. The pavement in front is original to 1926. [Some comments indicate that the bridge was built in 1923 for MO-14. Then, in 1926, this stretch became part of US-66.] Matthew Snoden Walburn: This image is a postcard of the historic single-lane Johnson Creek Bridge on old Route 66 near Spencer, Missouri. The bridge was built around 1926 as part of the original Route 66. It is a steel truss bridge with a weight limit of 30 tons, as indicated by the sign in the image. The bridge and surrounding area, including the nearby Spencer Station, are popular historic stops for Route 66 travelers. The road was bypassed in 1960, helping preserve this section of the original concrete highway and bridge. Google image search answer Spencer Station - Route 66: Matthew Snoden Walburn This and the smaller Pony Bridge going into Paris Springs were both built in 1923. So Google may be wrong on the year! 😉 |

That's the old Johnson Creek bridge into Spencer. Site of the old Johnson Mill from the late 1800s. Gets flooded out a lot. Just ahead is the little place of Spencer - diner, gift shop, old barber and car repair. then, you get an original (untouched) part of Route 66. |

Ronnie Hudson: I understand that it is in need of a paint job that will cost over 200 thousand due to precautions to keep lead paint out of stream. State will likely block it or delete it. |
This bridge was bypassed in 1960 saving the "U.S. Bicycle Rte 66" for the hardcore Route 66 tourists. Of course, "U.S. Rte 66" is now bypassed by the nearby I-44.
