Cadillac Ranch
Ten Cadillacs planted nose-down in a wheat field as public art, a canvas where visitors can freely spray-paint graffiti, and a landmark on Route 66.
Created in 1974 by the San Francisco art collective Ant Farm, funded by local millionaire Stanley Marsh III, the installation has ten Cadillacs from 1949 to 1963 buried nose-first at the same angle as the Great Pyramid of Khufu, displaying the evolution of the tailfin. Today the car bodies are covered in layers of spray paint. Visitors can bring their own paint or buy it from roadside vendors to leave their mark, and there is no admission fee. It sits on the frontage road south of I-40, about a 15-minute drive from downtown. After rain the field is muddy, so wear old shoes.
