Description
One of America's most quirky roadside attractions, the Cadillac Ranch, continues to draw in a steady stream of visitors year after year. Doubling as a quasi artist's canvas, a line of vintage Cadillacs were set face down in the dirt, ranging in years from 1948 to 1963. With tail fins pointing skyward, their multi-colored paint jobs do little to disguise the Cadillac's iconic appearance.
A famous Route 66 attraction since they were first "planted" in 1974, the name Cadillac Ranch has now been duplicated throughout America. Copied by restaurant owners, the title of a motion picture, a Springsteen song and covered by every imaginable type of media outlet, the intrigue of the Cadillac Ranch and its name has no signs of slowing.
