Cadillac Ranch (Amarillo, Texas)
Cadillac Ranch: an iconic, interactive art installation celebrating automotive history and creative expression.

Cadillac Ranch, established in 1974 by the art collective Ant Farm and philanthropist Stanley Marsh 3, features ten vintage Cadillacs—ranging from 1949 to 1963—half-buried nose-first in a Texas field along Route 66. Positioned at a 60-degree angle, the installation symbolizes the evolution of the Cadillac tailfin. Visitors are encouraged to add their own graffiti, contributing to its ever-changing appearance. This interactive art piece has inspired similar installations, such as the Bug Ranch in Conway, Texas, where Volkswagen Beetles are similarly buried. (en.wikipedia.org.
