Perfect illustration of the car culture in the United States, designed at the request of a Texas billionaire in Amarillo.
Designed in 1974 at the request of a Texas billionaire, Stanley Marsh III, the site was designed by three artists belonging to the Ant Farm collective: Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels. The work reflects the evolution of the brand's models between 1949 and 1963. The ten vehicles have their noses planted in the ground at the same angle as the Egyptian pyramids. The bodies, which were once regularly repainted, are now the delight of children and adults who come to tag them and mark their passage.

Cadillac ranch, un véritable dépotoir ! Quand une "œuvre" mondialement connue est laissée sans surveillance aucune et ainsi abandonnée aux mains de tagueurs imbéciles et dégoûtants . Une honte !

Curiosité de la route 66, c'est très facile d'accès et gratuit. Si on l'âme artistique, on peut ramasser une bombe de peinture pour tagger les voitures plantées tête en bas dans la terre (ne pas oublier de jeter dans une poubelle la bombe de peinture en partant, car de nombreuses bombes sont simplement jetées par terre hélas).
At the exit Amarillo, on the left. It is easy to miss it, the shrine. Indeed cadillacs are lined up in a muddy field, it is a wonder of the road, nothing more. You can leave traces of your visit to tagant them.
