Wigwam Motel

California Historic Route 66 Association
United States

You may know it as the inspiration for the Cozy Cone Motel in Pixar's blockbuster film "Cars," but Wigwam Village #7 in San Bernardino is one of 11 former Villages. This 1949 complex is the last one built - and one of only three remaining. The property's teepees has been gloriously restored by the Patel family.
