Cadillac Ranch - Amarillo

The Cadillac Ranch is an art installation by the artist group “Ant Farm” from San Francisco.
In 1974 the artist group dug 10 Cadillacs from the years of construction 1948 to 1963 on a field near Amarillo in a row and with the front half in the ground. The group of artists encourages interested parties to give these Cadillacs a different look again and again. Therefore, visitors spray them with spray cans and change their appearance almost every day.
On special occasions the artists themselves paint the Cadillacs in a special color; for example, when Doug Michels died, all Cadillacs were painted black. In 1997 the Cadillac Ranch was relocated because the city of Amarillo had continued to expand.

Make sure you plan a stop at the Cadillac Ranch.
