Willem Bor, master craftsman and Route 66 enthusiast has passed away on 1-17-2017. His memory will live on through his work. He created scale models of many of the iconic places on route 66 we roadies all adore.
I was fortunate to host a reveal in Pontiac, Illinois of his beautiful recreation of the O’Dell Standard Station. It’s located within the Pontiac motor car museum in Pontiac, Illinois.

Wow. He called that one a little early. I was thinking a few more weeks. Safe Journeys, Willem Bor. You were a great asset to the Community.
