Cadillac Ranch

Located on Old Route 66 in Stanley Marsh III's wheat field was built in 1974. Marsh and The Ant Farm, a San Francisco art collective, assembled used Cadillacs representing the "Golden Age" of American Automobiles. In 1997 the vehicles were dug up and moved 2 miles west of Amarillo because of the developing city.
In 2005, the Cadillacs were painted pink in a tribute to breast cancer victims. People are encouraged to bring their own spray paint as there is a dumpster by the fence where you go in.
