Route 66 has entered into folklore through songs, poems and films and is the embodiment of freedom, discovery, and the need for adventure and excitement.   ![Car Loan Australia](http://www.1800approved.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/Route%2066%201.jpg?width=640&name=Route%2066%201.jpg "Car Loan Australia") Route 66 originally ran from Chicago, Illinois, through Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona before ending at Santa Monica, California.   In John Steinbeck’s 1939 novel, *The Grapes of Wrath*, the Joad family travelled Route 66, heading from their dust-bowl Oklahoma farm, seeking the prosperity they dreamt of finding in California.   Running between Chicago and Los Angeles, here’s some of the popular and lesser known sights you can expect to see this along your adventure through the heartland of the Great American Dream;   ![Route 66 Personal Loan Holiday](https://www.1800approved.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/Route%2066%202.jpg?width=640&name=Route%2066%202.jpg "Route 66 Personal Loan Holiday")![Route 66 Holiday Personal Loan Australia](https://www.1800approved.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/Route%2066%205.jpg?width=640&name=Route%2066%205.jpg "Route 66 Holiday Personal Loan Australia") ![Route 66 McDonalds Car Loan Australia](https://www.1800approved.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/Route%2066%204.jpg?width=640&name=Route%2066%204.jpg "Route 66 McDonalds Car Loan Australia")![Car Loan Personal Loan Holiday Australia](https://www.1800approved.com.au/hs-fs/hubfs/blog/Route%2066%207.jpg?width=640&name=Route%2066%207.jpg "Car Loan Personal Loan Holiday Australia")------ Whether you'd like to arrange a [Personal Loan](https://www.1800approved.com.au/personal-loans) for you dream driving holiday or to arrange a car loan for your dream vehicle to travel around Australia, 1800Approved is an [award winning finance broker](https://www.1800approved.com.au/) - Australia's Broker of the Year for 2016 !    We have helped tens of thousands own their dream car, boat, holiday jetski or caravan and/or finance business equipment.
