I've read that...

"Roy Dunton was a longtime Route 66 resident who with his son built Mr. D’z Route 66 Diner and a slew of automotive businesses in Kingman, Arizona." He died last year at age 95.

"Roy Dunton led a wonderful life with a wonderful wife and leaves an amazing legacy with his family and all the friends and people that knew him. He was on Route 66 for 79 years. He loved Kingman and could have gone to Vegas, Phoenix or California and had huge dealerships and made a lot more money. It was never important; he loved Kingman and its people.

According to an obituary in the Kingman Daily Miner, Roy and Scott Dunton built and leased out Mr. D’z Route 66 Diner, a landmark in that city. He also became a regular at the restaurant, famous for its ’50s decor, house-made root beer and a visit from Oprah Winfrey.

Roy and Scott Dunton also started Dunton & Dunton and Dunton Motors Dream Machines in Kingman and Dunton Motors in nearby Bullhead City."

Roy Dunton sounds like a terrific enthusiast! Can anyone tell me whether Roy Dunton Motors still exists today in Kingman, AZ? He seems like the kind of guy that wouldn't throw out old records and documents on cars that he sold over the years!

Anyone from Arizona remember this Roy Dunton Motors Chevelle SS... back in the day?

Finding an old invoice, or buyer's order or something would be fantastic! Best of luck!

I remember traveling thru Kingman in 1977 and in the pictured showroom was 3 early Corvettes. We were surprised that there were those kind of cars in a showroom in such a small town. It was a Sunday morning and we were not able to stop in to view the cars.
