US History 100: Built for Speed – The Coral Court Motel
88:35
Grades: K - 12

Video Description: Way before its 1993 closure and subsequent demolition, the Coral Court Motel on Watson Road had it all: great American road-trippers, kidnappings, nostalgia, mob shenanigans, architectural renown, hourly rates, shades-drawn decadence, noontime boss-secretary philandering — and a secret underground entrance, to boot.  If ever there were an expired edifice ’round these parts that merited its own documentary film, it’s this one.  And seasoned local filmmaker Bill Boll and Route 66 archivist/producer Shellee Graham have meticulously and brilliantly captured the goods in their engrossing new feature film, Built for Speed: The Coral Court Motel.
