Liang’s inspiration for Pueblo Street Market, 1920s was the Beale Wagon Road across New Mexico and Arizona which was opened to automobile traffic in 1926 and renamed the National Trails Highway Route 66. Entrepreneur Fred Harvey, capitalizing on the newly available roadways, offered “Indian Detours” of the Southwest. One of the most popular packages was a trip in a Packard touring car (or “Harveycar”) into the pueblos, where the tourists could enjoy the landscape and architecture and shop in the markets.
