I quite agree. But do be sure to do the old routing that goes through Oatman. Spectacular.
There are some spots in Missouri that are mildly interesting where the old 66 parallels I-44 a few hundred yards to the south.
I'd also consider a drive through Albuquerque on old 66 along Central Ave, especially if stopping at the Frontier Restaurant (not to be missed imo)
