It is in a busy area and we parked in their parking garage, so didn't go further than that. I would suggest using the garage, although not inexpensive. I think we were in the museum 2-2 1/2 hrs and it was I believe the charge was $16.00. There is street parking right outside, but unfortunately nothing was available when we drove around the block, and we didn't want to look elsewhere.

Yes it runs through Los Angeles and although it's acknowledged with small Route 66 signs, the route now, of course goes by a number of different street names. I would refer you to, The Route66 , Not only does it show the exact route, also with many photos showing what it looked like then, during it's heyday and what is still left. Lots of interesting history.
