The pre-Interstate way to go by car from middle America to the California coast was the famous Route 66. It’s a century old as of this year. There were stories, songs, and even a TV show about it. Route 66 is still there (most of it anyway), and Chris Attrell filmed his trip along it. Real blast from the past.
Some people have done the trip in various antique cars, which would also be quite an experience. I don’t know how easy it might be to get your 1939 Plymouth repaired out in the middle of nowhere, though.
