and What to our Wondering (Wandering, too) Eyes Should Appear....

Day One of our cross country trip to Medford, Oregon. As Sneed went to work in the morning, we didn't get away until 1320 in the afternoon. As the day wore on, we realized that to go past Kerrville to find a place to stay was not a wise thing to do. Motels after Kerrville are few and far between, we know from prior experience having to keep driving until finding one as the trip grew longer and we more tired. As it turned out this was a wise decision as the first 3 motels we pulled into were booked. We finally snagged a room at a Comfort Inn.
Kerrville is on the far right along the blue line which is I-10. As one can see, there are few places to overnight once one gets out in the wide open spaces.

Whoa, and what is this? On our way to dinner at Fuddrucker's, we passed this marquee. On the way back we stopped to see the cars.
A bevy of (Ford) Edsels. They were only produced from 1958-1960.
A fine example of a 1958 model

NB - the push buttons in the center of the steering wheel are the gears. Directly above and behind on the dash is the circular speedometer which spins to tell the speed.


Not an original - newly bodied


This 1959 was trailered down from Michigan. Note the '59 headlights are in the grille; however the '58 headlights are in the fender.
