look at that, a classic-shape US 63 shield. Here is one that is even older and is, in fact, not the classic US shield design. The Dominion Sign Company out of Virginia had their own ideas on what the US shield was to look like, and stamped out many signs between 1929 and 1934 with this shape.

Another "63"...

Had a bunch of 63's to choose from but settled on this one...

Colorado does its level best to pretend that US-87 does not exist at all in the state ... but here is the one place that it is signed.

Denver - I-25 northbound between I-70 and I-76. This sign is no longer around, but another US-87 shield replaced it several years ago! For a route that does not exist, CDOT is quite fastidious about maintaining it.

From US 87 back to (California) state route 87...

another California interstate ... and a US and a state route for people to go on. Photo is from 1962, sign gantry is 1959.

For some reason, they doubled-down on US-2 reassurance markers for this intersection.

Coming out of Left Field....
I'll match that Historic Trail with another Historic Trail

Dougtone · December 13, 2009, 10:09:59 AM

I can't compete with that picture. You win.

So we're looking for a Historic Trail or an L. Way to play this one into a corner, David

OK, how's this? We stick with Lincoln, and give an IL 33 to play from.

I knew someone would figure this out

SNAP! I took a picture of the same interchange in Athens, OH last month and the construction was still there.

Moving right along...

agentsteel53 · December 13, 2009, 12:10:39 PM

here's a lot to work with ...

That fabulous array of signs agentsteel posted no longer exists. On Google Street View the only thing I can see that still remains is the utility pole to the left of the route 32 shield.
