Cadillac Ranch

"Cadillac Ranch is a public art installation and sculpture ...  created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were part of the art group Ant Farm. The installation half-buried ten Cadillacs (1949-1963) nose-first in the ground."

This is a very cool thing in a field by I-40, somewhere out in the Texas panhandle near Amarillo.

It is a living installation thanks to the custom of visitors spray painting whatever they like on the Caddies.  Don't know if the original artists envisioned this but it works.  If you don't bring your own paint there are lots of cans lying around, just pick one.

Love this anonymous poem spray painted on the ground nearby:

to the girls
with wild hearts
may your souls
remain free
