The thing that Groom, Texas, is most famous for is the giant cross out on the Interstate. Its official name is The Cross of Our Lord Jesus Christ, but it’s generally referred to as The Cross. It’s 19 stories high, making it visible from a long way off. It is one of those places that has limited photographic offerings, so I tried to find a way to show it with the town in front – this shot with The Cross looming over the high school was the only one I found.

an unpopular front grille design
I was pretty happy to find a stash of Edsels in McLean, Texas. They were, of course, unpopular and low-selling – and only in production for 807 days.
According the internet “The Edsel is famously described by automotive historians as the ultimate corporate and marketing failure. Its distinctive vertical grille inspired sharp contemporary mockery, with critics famously comparing its front end to a “toilet seat” or “an Oldsmobile sucking a lemon”.”
However, they are a lot of fun to photograph, with their weird lines, the details (little Es in the brake lights, for example), the colors (pink! turquoise!), and the history which shows up in every view.
