Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In is a historic eatery and roadside attraction located along former Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona USA. The drive-in was built in 1953 by local resident Juan Delgadillo (1916–2004). Delgadillo was working on an extremely limited budget, so he built the restaurant mostly from scrap lumber obtained from the nearby Santa Fe Railway yard. To bring attention to the restaurant, Delgadillo sliced the roof off of a 1936 Chevrolet hardtop, adorned the automobile with paint, horns and various automotive emblems and even an artificial Christmas tree in the rear of the car.

  • Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In is a historic eatery and roadside attraction located along former Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona USA. The drive-in was built in 1953 by local resident Juan Delgadillo (1916–2004). Delgadillo was working on an extremely limited budget, so he built the restaurant mostly from scrap lumber obtained from the nearby Santa Fe Railway yard. To bring attention to the restaurant, Delgadillo sliced the roof off of a 1936 Chevrolet hardtop, adorned the automobile with paint, horns and various automotive emblems and even an artificial Christmas tree in the rear of the car. Delgadillo's flair for showmanship extended to his menu, which still features such choices as a "cheeseburger with cheese" and "dead chicken". His sense of humor is evident in "Juan's Garden" at the rear of the property with its collection of old automobiles and kitsch in general; the humorous approach extends to the building. Hand-painted signs in the parking area warn drivers that they are parking at their own risk. A neon sign in the window informs patrons, "Sorry, we're open". The door that leads to the counter has two knobs, one on the right and one on the left. The knob on the right is a dummy; the one on the left actually opens the door. Delgadillo would continue his humorous approach by bantering with his patrons over their choices of food, asking, for example, if they wanted cheese on their cheeseburgers. While researching the history of Route 66 for the 2006 Pixar motion picture Cars, John Lasseter met Delgadillo's brother, Seligman barber and Route 66 historian, Angel Delgadillo, who told him how traffic through the town virtually disappeared on the day that nearby Interstate 40 opened. Both brothers are acknowledged in the film's credits. The restaurant is located within the Seligman Commercial Historic District, and is cited as one of the town's flamboyant examples of roadside architecture. Since Juan Delgadillo's death in 2004, the Snow Cap Drive-In has been run by his daughter Cecilia and son John, working the counter in the same playful manner. The walls around the counter area are covered with business cards from all over the world. Author Michael Wallis covers the history of the Snow Cap Drive-In in his book, Route 66: The Mother Road. On a January 11, 2012 episode of the History Channel's American Restoration show, Angel asked the host to restore his nephews' old Wurlitzer jukebox from the 1950s to full working order, which he did. Juan Delgadillo and his restaurant are also featured in the 2019 movie Wish Man. (en)
  • Delgadillo's Snow Cap Drive-In é um restaurante histórico e uma atracção rodoviária situada ao longo da antiga Rota 66 em Seligman, Arizona, nos Estados Unidos. O drive-in foi construído em 1953 pelo residente local Juan Delgadillo (17 de Maio de 1916 - 2 de Junho de 2004). Delgadillo estava a trabalhar com um orçamento extremamente limitado, pelo que construiu o restaurante principalmente a partir de sucata de madeira obtida no pátio vizinho do caminho-de-ferro de Santa Fe. Para chamar a atenção para o restaurante, Delgadillo cortou o tejadilho de um Chevrolet Hardtop de 1936, adornou o automóvel com tinta, chifres e vários emblemas automóveis e até uma árvore de natal artificial na traseira do carro. O talento de Delgadillo para o showmanship estendeu-se ao seu menu, que ainda apresenta escolhas como "cheeseburger com queijo" e "frango morto". O seu sentido de humor é evidente no "Juan's Garden" na parte de trás da propriedade com a sua coleção de automóveis antigos e kitsch em geral; a abordagem humorística estende-se ao edifício. Sinais pintados à mão na zona de estacionamento avisam os condutores que estão a estacionar por sua conta e risco. Uma placa de néon na janela informa os clientes: "Desculpem, estamos abertos". A porta que conduz ao balcão tem dois puxadores, um à direita e outro à esquerda. O botão da direita é um boneco; o da esquerda abre realmente a porta. Delgadillo continuaria a sua abordagem bem-humorada, brincando com os seus clientes sobre as suas escolhas de comida, perguntando, por exemplo, se queriam queijo nos seus cheeseburgers. Enquanto investigava a história da Route 66 para o filme Carros da Pixar, John Lasseter conheceu o irmão de Delgadillo, Seligman barbeiro e historiador da Route 66, Angel Delgadillo, que lhe contou como o trânsito pela cidade praticamente desapareceu no dia em que a Interstate 40 abriu. Ambos os irmãos são reconhecidos nos créditos do filme. O restaurante está localizado dentro do Distrito Histórico Comercial de Seligman, e é citado como um dos exemplos flamboyant da arquitetura de beira de estrada da cidade. Desde a morte de Juan Delgadillo em 2004, o Snow Cap Drive-In tem sido dirigido pela sua filha Cecilia e pelo filho John, trabalhando no balcão da mesma forma lúdica. As paredes em redor da zona do balcão estão cobertas com cartões de visita de todo o mundo. O autor Michael Wallis fala sobre a história do Snow Cap Drive-In no seu livro, Route 66, the Mother Road . Num episódio de 11 de Janeiro de 2012 do programa de Restauração Americana do History channel, Angel pediu ao anfitrião para restaurar a velha jukebox Wurlitzer dos seus sobrinhos dos anos cinquenta para uma ordem de trabalho completa, o que ele fez. Juan Delgadillo e o seu restaurante são também apresentados no filme "Wish Man" de 2019. (pt)
