The Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX is the brainchild of Stanley Marsh 3, a Texas millionaire. Various years of vintage Cadillac were dug into the earth, nose down as a Route 66 and roadside sculpture of sorts.

Chico, TX is home to what may be the world's largest watermelon. This is one watermelon slice that will appear ripe year-round. This is also one watermelon slice that dwarfs those that stand next to it. See other roadside giants at Roadside Peek's Roadside Giants Texas.

For Route 66 aficionados, Groom Texas is known for its famous leaning water tower. The Britten USA Water Tower is different from the others you pass while on the highway because it leans to the side. Word is the leaning effect was purposely set up to get motorists to pull over off the fast interstate and visit the town. See this water tower at more at where else but Roadside Peek's Roadside Water Towers Texas. 02-07
