...Cadillac Ranch
don't blink!

What a hoot! No more than a blurb on the flat Texas prairie, only the whimsical-at-heart will appreciate this funky piece of art created in 1974 by members of Ant Farm.

The sculpture has been featured in many ads and documentaries over the years and is often mass painted to represent a cause or event.

Its most popular appearance, however, seems to be that of brightly-colored spray paint, coated by fans and passers-by.

Cadillac Ranch is located on the Interestate 40 just west of Amarillo, on the south side. Don't look for road signs or brochures. You won't find them.

On a return visit a couple of years later, a rain had formed a puddle around the cars. It did not, however, stop a particular visitor from painting her name and date on one of the cars (seen above: Vickie 4-20-19).
