9Celebrate the nostalgic pleasures of America's vintage signs, quirky roadside attractions, and offbeat fast food relics in this irresistible retro road trip across the country.

The Great American Retro Road Trip is a coast-to-coast journey chronicling retro roadside America. Discover classic giant roadside attractions, from The Coffee Pot and The Big Duck to the World's Largest Paint Can and the Haines Shoe House. Or iconic signage, like the dazzling Yoken's neon sign, and the classic Moon Motel sign. Still-standing vintage locations of America's favorite chain restaurants, from Pizza Hut to McDonald's to Taco Bell. Through author Rolando Pujol's anecdotes and clever narrative, readers will come away with a sweeping sense of roadside charm that still exists, as well as a desire to see it all for themselves.

These lingering traces of America's past are an archive of disappearing roadside signage and architecture, and they tell a story of American ingenuity, creativity, and community. Whether you pick up this book for the nostalgia-inducing photos, the heartwarming stories, or as a reference for planning your own trip, you'll be encouraged to, as Pujol says, "Let your curiosity guide you."
