Cadillac Ranch: Amarillo, Texas
If you drive a bit west of Amarillo, you’ll find 10 Caddies standing, half buried, nose down, as a tribute to the evolution of the Cadillac tail fin.
In the early 70s, a group of hippies drove the ten models, ranging from 1949 to 1963, and supposedly buried them at the same angle facing west as that of the Great Pyramids of Giza.
What makes it even more unique is that the somewhat repetitious scenery of Route 66 across the panhandle of this state gets broken up by the colorful spray-painted cars buried in the ground at this site.
Over the years, this roadside attraction has become a permanent pit stop for travelers, and they’re even encouraged to bring spray paint with them to sign their names as they pass by.
