Elk City, OK – Follow the Fab Four's example, and "Come Together" with friends and family at Elk City's museum complex.

In recognition of the September 26 anniversary of the 1969 release of "Abbey Road," the last album recorded by the Beatles, the museum complex wants to remind you about all the pop culture items on display there.

Of course, with 18 buildings on the complex grounds, there's "Something" for everyone to enjoy.

Visitors can experience a drive-in movie theater from the back seat of a red 1959 Impala and watch movie clips from "The Blob" while listening to it on actual drive-in speakers attached to the car.

There's even a 1955 pink Cadillac that you'd have to be a "Mean Mr. Mustard" not to love.

The National Route 66 Museum also lets you walk through all eight states where the Mother Road stretches, from Illinois to California.

You'll feel like the "Sun King" while viewing murals and vignettes depicting the road's eras and the quirky roadside attractions that made it so famous.

There's also a brand-new Polaroid photography exhibition, "The Polaroid Man," by Mark A. Paylor. "Each Polaroid features an individual from a town along Route 66, showcasing the people who make up the heart of Route 66," said museum curator Anna Wray.

Plus, you'll see some cool vintage automobiles, including a 1973 Stingray Corvette and a 1962 Studebaker Hawk. "Because" nothing's cooler than cool classic cars.

"Polythene Pam" agrees.

There's even an airplane suspended from the ceiling near some classic motorcycles, including a yellow one so bright that you'll say, "Here Comes the Sun."

Like John, Paul, George, and Ringo, you'll enjoy the Elk City museum complex experience from the beginning to "The End."
