Cadillac Ranch On Route 66 In Amarillo, Texas
Cadillac Ranch is a public art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas, USA. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm. It consists of what were (when originally installed during 1974) either older running used or junk Cadillac automobiles, representing a number of evolutions of the car line (most notably the birth and death of the defining feature of mid twentieth century Cadillacs: the tailfins) from 1949 to 1963, half-buried nose-first in the ground, at an angle purportedly corresponding to that of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt.
Chip Lord and Doug Michels were architects; Marquez was an art student at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana. According to Chip Lord, “Ant Farm was founded as an alternative architectural practice, kind of an experiment in an attempt to subvert normal corporate ways of doing architecture.”
According to Marquez, “Chip and I were living in the mountains north of San Francisco, and there was a book meant for kids left in a bar near where we lived. It was called ‘The Look of Cars,’ and there was something on the rise and fall of the tail fin. I didn’t have a lot to do, so I just sorta drew it up. I’ve always loved the Cadillacs.”
The group claims to have been given a list of eccentric millionaires in 1972 in San Francisco, identifying Stanley Marsh 3 of Amarillo amongst those who might be able to fund one of their projects and submitted it to him. Marsh's response began It's going to take me awhile to get used to the idea of the Cadillac Ranch. I'll answer you by April Fool's Day. It's such an irrelevant and silly proposition that I want to give it all my time and attention so I can make a casual judgment of it.
RELOCATION:
Cadillac Ranch was originally located in a wheat field, but in 1997, the installation was quietly moved by a local contractor to a location two miles (three kilometers) to the west, to a cow pasture along Interstate 40, in order to place it farther from the limits of the growing city. Both sites belonged to the local millionaire Stanley Marsh 3, the patron of the project. Marsh was well known in the city for his longtime patronage of artistic endeavors including the Cadillac Ranch; Floating Mesa; Amarillo Ramp, a work by land artist Robert Smithson; and a series of fake traffic signs throughout the city known collectively as the Dynamite Museum. As of 2013, Stanley Marsh 3 did not own the Cadillac Ranch; ownership appears to have been transferred to a family trust some time before his June 2014 death.
Cadillac Ranch is visible from the highway, and though located on private land, visiting it (by driving along a frontage road and entering the pasture by walking through an unlocked gate) is tacitly encouraged. In addition, writing graffiti on or otherwise spray-painting the vehicles is now encouraged, and the vehicles, which have long since lost their original colors, are wildly decorated. Ant Farm artists have encouraged this kind of public interaction with the cars.
“If it had been sited in a remote place, Chip Lord said, it would be pristine today.
And no one would have seen it, Doug Michels added. We wanted it to be an interactive monument, so people could express themselves.”
The cars are periodically repainted various colors (once white for the filming of a television commercial, another time pink in honor of Stanley's wife Wendy's birthday, and again all 10 cars were painted flat black to mark the passing of Ant Farm artist Doug Michels, or simply to provide a fresh canvas for future visitors). In 2012 they were painted rainbow colors to commemorate gay pride day. The cars were briefly restored to their original colors by the motel chain Hampton Inn in a public relations-sponsored series of Route 66 landmark restoration projects. The new paint jobs and even the plaque commemorating the project lasted less than 24 hours without fresh graffiti.

Cadillac Ranch is the name of a Bruce Springsteen song on his 1980 album The River, later covered by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The cover of Supercharge album, by the band of the same name, depicts the Cadillac Ranch. The band Atomic Tom filmed a video at Cadillac Ranch in November 2011. Pixar's 2006 animated film Cars depicts a Cadillac Range as a mountain formation; the film's credits directly acknowledge the Ant Farm collective and the Cadillac Ranch. In a case of art-imitating-art-imitating-art, that image from the film Cars has been constructed as a centerpiece of Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park. In the final scene of the King of the Hill episode Hank Gets Dusted, Hank Hill has his father's Cadillac, which he cherished growing up, pushed front first into a hole along with other Cadillacs to reference the Cadillac Ranch. It also serves as the setting for the final video of Honky Tonk Stomp by Brooks & Dunn.
The Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas on Route 66
A short tour around the Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, Texas on Historic Route 66.
Cadillac Ranch is a public art installation and sculpture in Amarillo, Texas, U.S. It was created in 1974 by Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez and Doug Michels, who were a part of the art group Ant Farm, and it consists of what were (when originally installed during 1974) either older running used or junk Cadillac automobiles, representing a number of evolutions of the car line (most notably the birth and death of the defining feature of early Cadillacs; the tail fin) from 1949 to 1963, half-buried nose-first in the ground, at an angle corresponding to that of the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt. The piece is a statement about the paradoxical simultaneous American fascinations with both a sense of place — and roadside attractions, such as The Ranch itself — and the mobility and freedom of the automobile.
We stopped off here during our three week tour of Route 66.
I plan on putting up over a 100 short videos from this trip so please subscribe to my channel.

Cadillac Ranch (Amarillo, tx) in 4K
Amarillo Cadillac Ranch looks more like a old Texas cadillac graveyard along old route 66 . Was invented and built by a group of art-hippies, The Ant Farm, and their silent partner was Amarillo billionaire Stanley Marsh 3.
Ten Caddies, face west in a line, from the 1949 Club Sedan to the 1963 Sedan de Ville, their tail fins held high, half-buried, nose-down, in the dirt.
Bring your paint can to graffiti your mark on one or all of the cars. Just remember to clean up after your self.

ROUTE 66 GUIDE #15/31 *Cadillac Ranch*
Route 66
Le Cadillac Ranch est un incontournable de la route 66
maintenant légendaire. Également dans ce vidéo Palo Duro Canyon State Park où nous avons eu très peur car la chaleur était accablante et on a sous-estimé la randonnée et on manquer d’eau.
Le Cadillac Ranch est une sculpture monumentale exposée en plein air à Amarillo, au Texas, et qui constituait l'une des attractions jalonnant l'ancienne route 66, aux États-Unis. Conçue en 1974 par Chip Lord, Hudson Marquez et Doug Michels, tous trois membres du groupe d'architectes Ant Farm, elle consiste en un alignement de dix épaves d'automobiles de marque Cadillac plantées dans le sol.
Les automobiles, implantées environ tous les cinq mètres suivant un alignement est-ouest, sont à demi-enterrées dans le sol, le capot en avant, et presque à la verticale — en fait, elles sont supposées former avec le sol le même angle que les faces de la pyramide égyptienne de Khéops, sur le plateau de Gizeh.
Ces dix modèles représentent l'évolution de la gamme entre 1949 et 1963 :
1949 Cadillac Club Coupe (aka Sedanette) ;
1950 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan ;
1954 Cadillac Coupe DeVille ;
1956 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan ;
1957 Cadillac Sedan ;
1958 Cadillac Sedan ;
1959 Cadillac Coupe ;
1960 Cadillac Sedan (Flat top) ;
1962 Cadillac 4 Window Sedan ;
1963 Cadillac Sedan

We visit Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo Texas.
Cadillac Ranch is weird. Cadillac's sticking up out of the ground and you can spray pain them. But weird is fun right? We stayed at Oasis RV Resort about 1/2 a mile from Cadillac Ranch. It was a short drive and there is no fee to get in. But don't forget to buy spray paint like we did. Luckily for us someone let us borrow some spray paint.
