Amarillo Texas Tha Best Tourist Court Motel Route 66 Postcard 1940s Unposted

This postcard was printed during the 1940s and features Tha Best Tourist Court in Amarillo, Texas, documenting the expansion of roadside lodging along the historic Route 66 corridor.

Amarillo developed into a major overnight stop for cross-country automobile travelers moving through the Texas Panhandle during the golden age of highway tourism. Tourist courts and motor lodges flourished along Route 66 and related U.S. highway systems, with postcard advertising playing a central role in promoting clean accommodations, convenient parking access, and landscaped modern amenities to motorists traveling between the Midwest and the Southwest.

The image presents a neatly arranged complex of white stucco motel cabins surrounding a central drive and illuminated roadside sign identifying Tha Best Tourist Court. Caption text references nearby U.S. Highways 60 and 66 along with the Will Rogers Memorial Park location, reinforcing the card’s connection to early American road travel culture. Soft linen-era coloration and carefully staged grounds give the postcard strong visual appeal for collectors of Route 66 and vintage motel ephemera.
