Route 66 may not be the fully continuous highway it once was, but its reputation as a nostalgic piece of American history lives on. Back when car culture was still budding and road trips happened without the help of Google Maps, the iconic 2,448-mile stretch connected Chicago to California while symbolizing freedom and adventure out on the open road.
If you too are enamored by this retro transcontinental highway, Hobby Lobby has the perfect piece of decor to celebrate its history at home: the Red Route 66 Gas Pump. With a cool $13 price tag and detailed, vintage-inspired design, it makes a thoughtful holiday gift for any road trip fan or Americana collector.

Shoppers Love Its Americana Vibe
“Exactly what I wanted,” one fan raved in a review online, revealing that they “bought 20” to use as prizes at a car show. Another shopper picked one up to display alongside their model trucks, saying they loved its “old theme” and that it “looks great.”
A third fan echoed the sentiment, praising the pump’s “very good craftsmanship,” and adding that it “looks great on our entryway table.”
Adding to its charm, the pump is made entirely of metal, so it’ll have a satisfying weight no matter where you place it. Use it as a paperweight on your office desk, a bookend on a shelf or add it to a living room TV console, side table or entryway table. Whether it lives alongside other vintage-inspired finds or serves as a statement piece all its own, it’s a fun way to bring a little roadside nostalgia into the room.
Grab one as a holiday stocking stuffer or a birthday present, or use one to elevate your own Americana collection. While you’re at it, don’t miss out on Hobby Lobby’s $5 Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board and $12 Santa Cake Stand, either.
