Route 66 Rocker.

World's Largest Route 66 Rocker

The World's Largest Route 66 Rocker now has a seat and arms. At a recent fundraiser for the Cuba Fire Department, people could pay $5 to be hoisted up to the rocker for a photo. In this photo you see John Bland, Joe Medwick, and Dan Sanazaro, the creators of the chair standing atop their creation.

There are plans for the Guinness World Record organization to visit the rocker, which is 42'4', 20 feet wide, and 27,500 pounds.
